The 2003 Martin D-28 is a highly sought-after, workhorse dreadnought acoustic guitar that sits right in the middle of Martin's 1993–2004 production era. By 2003, these instruments still featured the traditional 1-11/16” nut width and standard non-scalloped X-bracing, offering a punchy, mid-range focused sound that cuts perfectly through an acoustic mix. Because it is over two decades old, a 2003 model has usually "opened up" significantly, providing a much warmer bass response and sweeter high-end than a brand-new factory model.
