The most famous model among Martin guitars is the "D-28." Born in 1934 as a dreadnought model with the same 14-fret joint as today's models, it remains a beloved world standard model. This particular instrument is a used 1992 model. It features a Sitka spruce top, rosewood sides and back, ebony fingerboard and bridge, Grover Rotomatic tuners, mother-of-pearl fingerboard dots, black pickguard, checkerboard backstrip, and standard non-scalloped X-bracing. The D-28 underwent a major specification change in 2017, adopting a more old-school aesthetic. Further minor changes in 2025 brought it closer to the Golden Era era. This instrument is the older specification before those changes. Unlike current models, the nut width is 42.9mm, the bracing is non-scalloped Standard X, and the tuners are Grover Rotomatic type. For those who find the nut width of current models too wide and difficult to grip, this neck is worth experiencing, as the grip is easy to use even when fretting with the thumb. It's easy to see why there are a certain number of people looking for this specification. And because it's Standard X rather than forward-shifted, the strength around the bridge is increased, resulting in a more evenly balanced sound with more defined notes. With non-scalloped bracing, it has a slightly thicker sound, and compared to other guitars from the same period, it has a slightly thicker sound. The sound is easy to define and control, and it has the potential to express subtle nuances. The tuners themselves are heavy, making it easy to produce a heavy resonance and a smooth, extended sustain, and the degree to which you cut off or sustain the note is up to the player. This is a world standard model that will respond to the playing you envision. It doesn't particularly require a specific playing style, and you can enjoy the powerful sound with strumming and the delicate resonance with fingerpicking. While there are minor dents on the headstock and body, small pick scratches on the pickguard, and some light scratches overall, it's in relatively good condition considering its age. The playability is excellent, offering the versatility expected of a world-standard guitar. This D28 is in a condition that allows for continued use. For those who found the nut width of current models unsuitable, we highly recommend trying this older specification model. Experience for yourself why it's a world standard.
