Full Product Overview
The Martin HD-28 stands as one of the most celebrated acoustic guitars in music history. Combining pre-war aesthetic touches with modern playability enhancements, this classic dreadnought delivers the deep bass, shimmering highs, and room-filling volume that players have relied on for generations.
Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the HD-28 utilizes scalloped, forward-shifted X-bracing to allow the soundboard to vibrate freely.
