Martin D-28

The Martin D-28 Standard Dreadnought Guitar stands as the quintessential dreadnought, widely regarded as the benchmark by which all others are measured. With a legacy dating back to 1931, the Martin D-28 has defined the sound of countless iconic records across rock, country, bluegrass, and pop music. Martin’s refreshed Standard series brings this legendary instrument back to its prewar glory, blending vintage design with modern performance enhancements. This updated D-28 features a solid spruce top with Golden Era forward-shifted X-bracing for a more resonant, touch-sensitive playing experience, while its solid East Indian rosewood back and sides deliver the D-28’s signature booming low-end and crisp, shimmering highs.

Key Features:

• Golden Era Sound: The D-28 features a solid spruce top supported by Golden Era forward-shifted X-bracing, delivering powerful unplugged punch and projection with exceptional tonal responsiveness.
• Rich Tonewoods: Solid East Indian rosewood back and sides create a deep, rich tonal character with sparkling overtones, while maintaining powerful bass and clarity-filled highs.
• Classic Dreadnought Design: The big-bodied dreadnought shape ensures robust, chest-thumping bass response that defines the traditional dreadnought sound.
