Sometimes the innovation is in the details, and that's certainly the case with Martin 's redesigned D-28. After nearly a century at the helm and as the quintessential workhorse of music legends such as Hank Williams, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Bob Dylan and many others, Martin's legendary D-28 has been lovingly and artfully refined. "The postwar D-28 had a slightly different look than its predecessor and became the centerpiece of the folk and folk-rock movement at its peak in the 1950s and 1960s." says Chris Martin, Chairman and CEO of Martin Guitar, "We've distilled the best features of the D-28 from my grandfather's and my father's respective eras." The new D-28 combines the guitar's rich history with Martin's latest and best-known innovations. The 184-year-old luthier has combined Vintage features including open tuning machines, an aged tone top, antique white accents and a tortoiseshell pickguard with a new neck profile to give D-28 lovers a modern feel and comfortable playing experience. Martin also added forward bracing to allow for greater top swing. The legend just got better!
