The Martin D-28 Rich Robinson Custom Signature Edition is a meticulous recreation of the 1954 Martin D-28 that the Black Crowes guitarist inherited from his father. It is notable for being Martin's first signature model to visually and sonically replicate an artist's personal, aged instrument. Martin Guitars +3Key Specifications & FeaturesThis model captures the specific "post-pre-war" era characteristics of the mid-1950s: YouTube +2
- Body & Wood: Standard D-14 Fret dreadnought body with an Aged Sitka Spruce top and Aged East Indian Rosewood back and sides.
- Bracing: Features rearward-shifted, non-scalloped X-bracing, which provides a punchy, balanced midrange-focused tone rather than the "boomy" bass typical of modern scalloped bracing.
- Neck Profile: A beefy 1954 Rich Robinson Barrel and Heel shape with a 1-11/16" nut width, designed to match Robinson's original.
- Authentic Construction: Built using a dovetail neck joint and authentic hide glue, techniques typically reserved for Martin's high-end Authentic Series.
- Visual Aging: Every detail of wear from the original is replicated, including dings, checking, "waffle-style" nickel tuners, and even a filled-in strap button hole on the heel.
- Player Comfort: Robinson specifically requested the bridge wings be softened/rounded for a more comfortable feel against the palm. Martin Guitars +9
Performance & Sound
- Tonal Profile: Reviewers describe it as having a "dry, mid-range focus" with a "raw edge". It is noted for being loud and punchy, making it excellent for both fingerstyle and aggressive flatpicking.
- Comparison: Unlike the 1937 Authentic models which offer complex overtones and deep bass, the Rich Robinson model emphasizes fundamental clarity and a balanced EQ
