The C. F. Martin & Company HD-28 Left-Handed is a legendary acoustic guitar, trusted by generations of players and built to deliver the same iconic tone in a true lefty configuration. Its Dreadnought body size and scalloped bracing produce a bold, projective voice with strong bass, clear trebles, and rich overtones that have defined acoustic music for nearly a century.

Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the HD-28 offers a resonant, balanced tone suited for any playing style. Bold herringbone top inlay and an ebony fingerboard with abalone diamond and square inlays add a timeless, vintage-inspired look. The satin neck features Martin’s Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile with a high-performance taper and 25.4" scale length, providing a smooth, comfortable feel tailored for left-handed players.

Finished with antique white binding, an ebony bridge with bone pins, and nickel open-gear tuners, the HD-28 blends classic craftsmanship with modern performance. Available in a variety of gloss options, it’s a guitar that delivers both heritage and versatility.

Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025 brings subtle but meaningful upgrades to tone, comfort, and style. Sitka spruce GE top bracing—borrowed from the Modern Deluxe Series—enhances sustain and vintage character, while refinements to the neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and updated bridge and heel improve overall playability. A hardshell case is included.
