Description

A salute to their storied past, this Martin Custom Shop Dreadnought infuses the timeless charm of the iconic HD-28 into a modern, custom-crafted dream.

The top is comprised of Adirondack spruce, a choice wood known for its clear, singing sustain. This pairs exquisitely with the 2-piece wild grain East Indian rosewood back and sides to produce a balanced resonance, harmoniously blending low-end heft with high-end sparkle.

The guitar's select hardwood neck features a modified low oval profile with a high performance taper, ensuring comfortable playability. A 20-fret black ebony fingerboard graces the neck, renowned for its tight response and crisp articulation, adorned with Diamonds and Squares long pattern abalone inlays for a touch of elegance.

Beneath its glossy natural finish, the guitar boasts a traditional dreadnaught body shape, promising a sound that's both expansive and commanding. Under the hood is Martin's lauded Golden Era scalloped X bracing, carved from Adirondack spruce, enhancing the guitar's resonance. The ebony bridge with a compensated bone saddle secures paired with Waverly Nickel 4060 tuning machines dependable intonation.

With tasteful HD-styled herringbone top inlay and zig zag back purfling, this guitar exudes a refined aesthetic that matches its stellar sound. The Martin Custom Shop Dreadnought arrives housed in a Martin hardshell case, prepared for wherever your music takes you.
