Martin HD-28 Standard Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

The Martin HD-28 is a modern reimagining of a legendary dreadnought, built on a classic 14-fret body with forward-shifted, GE-scalloped X-bracing for exceptional power, resonance and clarity across everything from delicate fingerpicking to bold strumming. The solid Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides deliver a timeless tonal palette with deep lows, crisp highs and lush harmonics, while bold herringbone purfling and antique white binding nod to Martin's historic golden era.

For the 2025 Standard Series refresh, Martin has sharpened the HD-28's playability with a satin-finished GE Modified Low Oval neck, a high-performance taper and a thinner ebony fingerboard set with abalone Diamonds and Squares inlays. Nickel open gear tuners, a compensated bone saddle and the GE Modern Belly bridge round out a specification built to impress both sonically and visually, ideal for players chasing classic Martin dreadnought tone with genuinely modern feel, and it comes complete with a molded hardshell case.
