Martin HD28 Acoustic Guitar with Case
The Martin HD-28 is the herringbone version of the D-28.
Vintage features include herringbone top trim, a traditional zig-zag backstrip, and Martin’s famous scalloped X-bracing. Its fingerboard is ebony, the body top is solid spruce and the body features solid rosewood, just like the D28.
Other features of the HD28 include a gloss finish, black & white rosette, white binding and a hardshell case is included in the price.
Martin Standard Series
Martin launched this much imitated Standard Series line nearly a century ago and set the standard for all modern acoustic guitars—starting with the Dreadnought, a shape that Martin first built in 1916 to provide a bigger, richer guitar sound at a time when there was no amplification, for the accompaniment of singers in larger settings, including auditoriums.
These instruments constitute the historic core of the Martin line and represent the majority of sizes and styles that have evolved during this century. The Standard Series models are known for resonant warmth of tone with tastefully restrained styling. For the most part, Martin is credited with inventing these styles and shapes, and guitar makers in general have moved to adopt Martin’s size designations as the standard for the industry.
Standard features for the Standard Series generally include solid wood top, back, and sides, polished gloss finish, and a hand-fit dovetail neck attachment.
About Martin Guitars
For well over a century and a half, the Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world.
The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.'s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker's craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power.
Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially in evidence today at Martin's expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

OVERALL:
I bought my HD28 10 years ago and I couldn't be happier! Soon after my purchase, a dear friend was critical of the price tag and proclaimed his "Taylor" to be a better guitar at a better price. However, when we jammed the HD28 buried the Taylor! Another friend, who was hanging out listening, asked me to "turn down the Martin, I can't hear Ed's taylor". My response? It's an acoustic you moron, there is no volume control:) The HD28 completely enveloped the Taylor. It was as if Ed's guitar was lipsyncing the chords! My advice? Get the HD28, you'll own it and love it all your life. If you're thinking about an HD28, but opt for another axe, you will regret not buying the HD28 and will be haunted the rest of your life. GET THE ONE YOU REALLY WANT, GET THE HD28!!!!! | |

My wife and I went to our local Guitar dealer to "window shop". I was blind-sided by her holding a HD-28 and asking "I know this is not a D-28, but would you be happy with this?". Happy was, and still is an understatement. I am blown away by the sound of this Guitar. I will own this Guitar until they lay me in the ground. The quality,workmanship, and value can't be overstated. If this guitar was stolen or destroyed I would purchase another......as soon as I could save up enough money. | |

| I've been playing guitar now for over 30 years and still no acoustic comes close to a Martin HD-28. Great rhythm, finger picking and flat picking guitar. The sound is awesome across the dynamic range. Recording engineers love them because they're very easy to EQ and mike and have a rich, warm tone. Stick with Elixer strings and you'll have an awesome combination. I recently added a Schertler Bluestick undersaddle pickup and couldn't be happier with the sound. I'm currently playing folk, Celtic, and bluegrass styles and it performs equally as well within each. Most of all, I like the comments: "Wow, a Martin!" to which I reply, "Yeh, just my knock-around guitar." :) Get one and you won't be sorry. | |
