Martin HD-28 – The Iconic Herringbone Dreadnought
The Martin HD-28 is the ultimate expression of traditional dreadnought tone and craftsmanship. Revered by players for its booming bass, crisp highs, and timeless style, this model continues to define the sound of classic acoustic music.
Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, the HD-28 delivers a powerful, balanced tone with excellent projection and depth. The forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing brings vintage warmth and responsiveness, making it a favorite for strummers, flatpickers, and fingerstyle players alike.
Its iconic look is anchored by herringbone top inlay, antique white binding, and a multi-stripe rosette, while the ebony fingerboard features absolutely classic diamonds and squares inlays. The GE Modified Low Oval neck profile with a high-performance taper ensures smooth playability up and down the fretboard.
Finished in high-gloss with a satin neck for fast movement, the HD-28 combines vintage aesthetics with modern comfort—making it an exceptional choice for stage, studio, or collection.
