Product information

Attention all Black Crowes fans! Martin is proud to present the Rich Robinson Custom Signature edition D-28. This model is every guitarist's dream, and it is the first model that Martin has made that visually and sonically resembles an artist's personal instrument . The instrument that served as inspiration is a 1954 D-28, passed down from Robinson's Vater , who played it on the Grand Ole Opry stage, as a traveling musician with Hillbilly Highway, and in his folk band The Appalachians in the 1950s and 60s. After inheriting his father's guitar, Robinson used it to write and record most of the Black Crowes' original songs on the band's studio albums. This soulful representation of this beloved guitar features satin-finished East Indian rosewood (aged) bottom and sides and a spruce top finished with a very thin Vintage gloss varnish. It also features backwards non-scalloped bracing, which provides a very balanced tone and added volume . The guitar includes some Vintage 1950s-style features, such as Martin's signature dovetail neck joint, authentic hide glue, ebony fretboard and bridge, and aged nickel tuning machines. Another features that was implemented at Robinson's request is a bridge with slightly weakened wings for greater comfort. The model includes a specially designed certificate with Robinson's signature and consecutive numbering.

About Martin

The company CF Martin & Co., or Martin Guitars for short, can look back on a long company tradition and some innovative inventions. This primarily includes the development of the dreadnought form and thus the western guitar as we know it today. The family business, with its history spanning over 175 years, has shaped the music world to this day. The innovations that Martin made standard in guitar construction include guitars with 14 frets outside the body and X-bracing. This allows the top to be more stable and max. weight capacity thanks to glued strips on the inside of the carcass ceiling. To this day , Martin guitars are famous for their high quality and of course their sound and are very popular among guitarists. You can find a large selection ready to play in our shop or in our branches. In our Martin premium western guitar section you will also find a selection of the highest quality western guitar models from all Martin series.

The name of the US company Martin Guitars, actually CF Martin & Co., Inc., has stood for the highest quality and innovations in the construction of stringed instruments since 1833. When everyone thinks of Martin , everyone immediately thinks of the western guitar, as the company founder and German emigrant Christian Friedrich Martin helped the instruments take on the form that we still know and appreciate today. The company's inventions include special bracing (X-bracing), the neck transition at the 14th fret and popular body shapes such as the dreadnought guitar.

In addition to the classics such as the D, OM, J, 000 models, our range also includes custom shop models - as well as signature models from renowned artists such as Ed Sheeran, Eric Clapton or John Mayer. We also have the popular Martin Backpacker Steel and the Little Martin in our range.
