Description:
The Martin Super HD-28 is a modern reinterpretation of one of the most iconic models from the American brand, renowned for its powerful, defined sound rich in harmonics, with an emphasis on deep bass and full mids. This model inherits all the distinctive character of the HD-28 but features a larger Super D body, providing approximately 20% more volume compared to a traditional dreadnought, ensuring extraordinary sound projection and an even more commanding presence on stage or in the studio.
Characterized by a 25.4" scale length, this guitar boasts a solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, making it an ideal instrument for strumming, flatpicking, and rhythmic accompaniment, while also excelling in more complex solo passages due to its enhanced resonance and superior tonal balance.
Although it does not formally belong to the Standard Series 2025, the Martin Super HD-28 inherits all the key technical and construction features of that series, ensuring top-level performance. It retains the Golden Era bracing, which provides the instrument with a full, rich, and well-defined tonal spectrum, previously reserved for Custom Shop productions and the Modern Deluxe and Authentic series. The neck maintains the Golden Era Modified "Low Oval" profile, which is slimmer at the lower frets and progressively thicker toward the upper fingerboard, allowing for optimal ergonomics, while the slightly thinner fingerboard, with rounded edges, recalls the historic Martin Pre-War models, offering superior comfort in the grip. The bridge also features the Golden Era Modern Belly design, enhancing vibration transmission and ensuring richer sustain.
Thanks to these features, the Super HD-28 combines the tradition of Martin sound with modern construction, delivering a guitar with authentic character, powerful and well-balanced sound, and significantly increased projection compared to the classic HD-28.
