A definitive golden-era Martin. An appropriately named "tone cannon" that features essential Martin appointments that maintain its classic roots and historical accuracy combined with modern building innovations for a completely solid and pro-setup acoustic. A powerful instrument with a massive and rich dynamic range, that also looks the part with Martin's VTS aging process. While not equipped stock with electronics, a ribbon mic, LR Baggs M-80, or K&K pure mini pickup would treat this model proper.

From Martin:

"Perhaps the most revered vintage D-28s are the ones created in 1937 with forward-shifted hand-scalloped X-bracing, an Adirondack spruce top, and a 1 3/4" neck width. This model is an updated version made with Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, and it includes some subtle spec refinements to make it even more faithful to the original. One of the major updates is a more accurate body profile based on dreadnoughts from the 1930s and 40s.

Martin’s Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed to age the top and braces, which captures the tone from the 1930s era. Martin’s craftspeople can recreate the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar and reproduce the particular tones previously reserved for vintage instruments."
