Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
The HD-28, a guitar with a decades-long pedigree. We see them often, though our excitement hasn't diminished for this model at all! An iconic guitar, dressed to the nines, and playing great. This HD-28 benefits from Martin's patented VTS torrefaction process, adding age and warmth to a classic sound!
