Paul McCartney's 1967 Martin D-28

Paul acquired his D-28 in 1968. With it, he recorded several songs such as Blackbird, Mother Nature's Son, Two of Us, and Her Majesty. It was a right-handed model which he strung in reverse. But he never had the bridge modified to correct the position of the saddle for proper intonation...

Thus, his D-28 was "reverse-compensated" yet his acoustic guitar accompaniment sounded perfect...

Today, Paul performs with a left-handed D-28...

It was the same with his right-handed Epiphone Texan FT-79 yet his acoustic guitar accompaniment sounded just fine...

Paul still has and occasionally performs with that guitar today...

The bridge is original but the saddle had been replaced with a modified saddle to help a bit with intonation.

Paul and Linda 1973
Paul is playing a Gibson Everly Brothers guitar, intoned correctly. I love this video!
