It sounds beautiful and it was a lot of fun to work on!

A 1966 Martin D-28 that was converted to a pre-war spec D-28 - with the exception of the neck profile on a new neck - which was customized for the customer's preference and also included a two-way adjustable truss rod. This D-28 includes the original Brazilian rosewood back and sides, all hide glue construction, new Adirondack spruce top, forward-shifted hand-carved scalloped bracing, herringbone top binding, slotted ebony bridge with glued-in bone long saddle, non-slotted bridge pins, bone nut, thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish, an under-the-finish pickguard, and Waverly butterbean knob tuners.

What's left of the 1966 specs that make it a conversion, the back & sides?
