Résumé

The Martin D-28 is an absolute benchmark dreadnought, and early D-28s rank as some of the most collectable acoustic guitars ever. When Martin introduced the D-28 in 1931, it laid the groundwork for where the acoustic guitar industry would go. Very few D-28s were made in the first several years of production, up until a switch was made from a 12-fret to a 14-fret neck in 1934. By 1943, other changes include a decrease in nut width and the use of scalloped bracing. 

Years of Production:
 1931 - present 

Specific to this Era: Scalloped bracing and metal truss rods introduced between 1942 and 1944. 

Body Style: Dreadnought 

Wood Composition: Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Sitka Spruce top, 1-piece mahogany neck

    This is a spectacular sounding instrument: warm, woody, thick, sweet, chimey, incredible sustain. The timbre is complex, and it's got a motor. It's got punch and drive.

    From beautifully selected material (Madagascar Rosewood and Adirondack Red Spruce), to the wider string spacing, everything comes together make this the last guitar you'll HAVE to buy. The rest will stay in their cases once you play one of these. Well worth the money.

    Love the sound, but new coming from the factory there are a couple of high frets that give off some buzz. A little disappointed that coming from Martin that I would have to deal with this. But overall love the guitar and so does everyone that hears it.
