As a flagship model in Martin’s storied history, the D-28’s reputation precedes it. Seen in the hands of Hank Williams, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and so many others, the D-28’s voice is well documented across generations of recordings and performances.
This playability and tonality translates into the modern day seamlessly with time-tested specifications that have never gone out of style. The D-28 is constructed with a Sitka spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides in an iconic dreadnought shape. Its forward-shifted X-bracing pattern produces excellent projection and articulation for a variety of musical styles. The ebony fingerboard combines with a Modified Low Oval-shaped neck for smooth playability.
The larger aspects of the D-28 are matched with its smaller high-quality details such as a bone nut, nickel open-gear tuning machines, and Antique white body binding. Totally, the D-28 is aesthetically and musically stellar.
Martin, a name over 150 years old, continues to celebrate the success of one of its most famous models – and truthfully, it’s an instrument worth celebration.
