Description:
The Martin D-28 is one of the most iconic models in Martin's history, chosen by generations of guitarists for its full sound, powerful bass, defined highs, and extraordinary harmonic richness.
Featuring a 25.4" scale length, it boasts a solid Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides—a traditional wood combination. This instrument is perfect for strumming and flatpicking.
Specifically, this guitar belongs to the Standard Series 2025, which has further refined the already exceptional Standard Series Reimagined models to deliver even higher performance, both in terms of sound and comfort.
A significant innovation is the adoption of the Golden Era bracing, previously reserved exclusively for Custom Shop productions, as well as the Modern Deluxe and Authentic series. This technical choice gives the instruments an even fuller and richer sound while maintaining the clarity typical of Martin guitars.
Another improvement concerns the neck, which now features the Golden Era Modified "Low Oval" profile. It is thinner at the lower frets for a more comfortable grip but gradually becomes thicker as you move up the neck, enhancing overall ergonomics. The fingerboard is slightly thinner, echoing the design of historic Martin Pre-War models, and features rolled edges for greater comfort in handling.
The bridge has also been redesigned and now adopts the Golden Era Modern Belly design, reminiscent of the bridges found on Pre-War Martin productions.
Overall, the Martin Standard Series 2025 gets even closer to the traditional construction standards of the brand, offering instruments with authentic character and improved playability.
