What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: The fret ends were smoothed and polished. The guitar was humidified to correct low-humidity dryness and stabilize the instrument. The truss rod and bridge were adjusted. All frets were leveled, re-crowned, and polished. No further work was needed.

This Martin HD-28 is a legendary dreadnought that delivers the kind of rich, authoritative tone that has shaped countless recordings and stages. Its spruce top and forward-shifted scalloped bracing give it bold projection and quick response, while East Indian rosewood back and sides add deep low end, sparkling highs, and lush harmonic bloom. The GE Modified Low Oval neck with high-performance taper feels smooth and effortless, making it just as satisfying for flatpicking as it is for full, driving strums. Finished in stunning 1933 Ambertone with herringbone trim and classic Style 28 details, this HD-28 is a true long-term investment built to open up and inspire for decades.

Manufacturer's Description from Martin

The HD-28 blends legendary Martin tone with timeless craftsmanship. Scalloped bracing and bold herringbone trim pair with rosewood and spruce construction for powerful, balanced sound—trusted by generations and ready for today’s artist.

About Manufacturer

For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
