Few acoustic guitars carry the legacy of the Martin HD-28. A cornerstone of American acoustic music for decades, the HD-28 is the dreadnought that flatpickers, singer-songwriters, and studio players keep coming back to — and for good reason. Its solid Sitka spruce top, paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, produces the full-bodied, balanced tone that has defined the sound of country, bluegrass, folk, and beyond. Forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing adds vintage warmth and dynamic sensitivity, making the HD-28 equally at home strumming open chords or driving a flatpicked melody.
The look is unmistakably classic: herringbone top inlay, antique white binding, a Style 28 multi-stripe rosette, and diamonds-and-squares ebony fingerboard inlays. The GE Modified Low Oval neck profile with high-performance taper keeps the playing feel comfortable and fast across all positions, while the gloss body and satin neck finish strike the ideal balance between vintage aesthetics and modern playability. Every HD-28 ships with a Martin Deluxe Hardshell Case.
