Martin D-28 Standard Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar in Case

The Martin D-28 Standard Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar is the quintessential workhorse that has powered the music of legends like Hank Williams, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and countless others. Renowned for its unmatched resonance and tonal depth, the D-28 is crafted with premium East Indian rosewood, delivering deep bass, rich overtones, and a well-balanced sound that suits all playing styles. Whether you’re strumming chords or picking intricate melodies, the D-28 responds with clarity and warmth, making it a timeless favorite among professional musicians.

Legendary Craftsmanship and Iconic Sound

The D-28 is built with a solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, a combination that has become synonymous with rich, full-bodied tone. The forward-shifted X-bracing enhances the guitar’s resonance, allowing the top to vibrate more freely and produce a louder, more dynamic sound. Whether you’re playing solo or in a group, the D-28 cuts through the mix with ease, offering a blend of power and subtlety that few guitars can match.

Vintage Aesthetics with Modern Playability

While the D-28 is steeped in tradition, it also features modern enhancements that make it a joy to play. The neck is shaped in a modified low oval profile with a high-performance taper, providing a fast, comfortable playing experience that suits both traditional and contemporary techniques. The fingerboard width at the nut is 1 3/4'', offering ample space for both fingerstyle and strumming. Vintage-inspired details like open gear tuners, an aged toner top, antique white accents, and a faux tortoise pickguard give the D-28 its classic look, while ensuring it stands out as a piece of musical history.

New Finish Options for Personal Style

Previously available only in a full gloss finish, the Martin D-28 now offers additional finish options to suit your personal style and budget. You can choose from a full satin-finished body (top, back, and sides) with either an aging-toner top or an amberburst top. These new finishes add a touch of vintage charm while preserving the guitar’s legendary tone and playability. Whether you prefer the traditional gloss or one of the new satin options, the D-28 delivers the same exceptional quality and sound that has made it a favorite for generations.

Built for a Lifetime of Music

Constructed with a dovetail neck joint and high-quality materials, the D-28 is built to last, making it a reliable companion for all your musical endeavors. The guitar is available with optional electronics, allowing you to amplify your sound without sacrificing the guitar’s natural acoustic tone. Whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or playing at home, the D-28 offers the versatility, durability, and timeless appeal that Martin guitars are known for.
