Sound Pure's Take

100 years later and the HD-28 is still a golden standard for players the world over.  This particular specimen needed nothing more than a routine setup to get it to 100%.  Neck, bridge, frets, body--happy as can be!  If you're looking to replace a weathered friend from Martin or make your first foray into the iconic maker, look no further!

Condition: Used, Very Good

From Martin and Co.

One of our best-selling models, the HD-28 includes many of the options guitar players and collectors prize in historic Martins. A Sitka spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides, all wrapped together in Martin’s classic herringbone inlay.
