Simply legendary
The Martin D-28 has been built almost unchanged for almost a century. With its characteristic dreadnought design , it is the American symbol of a traditional western guitar. An icon then! No wonder - even today, countless musicians swear by the brilliant sound volume with its round basses, the characteristic midrange and the open highs. Martin has made an improvement to the D-28: The vibration behavior of the Sitka spruce top is improved by the newly designed forward-shifted bracing. For modern playability, the D-28 is equipped with a narrower nut and a slimmer neck profile . Traditional brands like Martin also meet the wishes and delight of their fans.

In addition to its full sound , the D-28 is also comfortable to play. In addition to the dreadnough body shape, the low-oval neck profile with a nut width of 44.5 mm also contributes to this. The nickel tuning machines with their butterbean wings are not only beautiful to look at, together with the compensated inlays on the bridge , they ensure tuning stability and clean intonation.
