Description

For hardcore acoustic guitar fans, there's clearly something special about the Martin D-28 Standard Series Sunburst. For everyone else, there's absolutely something about it, too. This model from one of the world's most prolific and longest-standing names in acoustic guitar drops in Martin's refreshed Standard Series with a host of fine specifications and features to bring the whole piece together. Bold, rustic, and authentic, the D-28 Sunburst is a guitar to stand the test of time.

The mastery of acoustic guitar craft on display with this model is evident. You don't get to over a century of making guitars without picking up a thing or two, after all. With Martin's refreshed Standard Series, we're treated to a suite of rich materials and design specs to make the best out of the D-28. This all begins with Martin's dreadnought D-14 Fret body shaped from a spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides. These two classic Martin tonewoods produce the refined and complex tonal structure you've come to expect from the classic American name. Forward-shifting Golden Era ("GE") scalloped spruce braces line the top for balanced and precise projection while Antique White binding accentuates the curvature of the body through the 1935 Sunburst finish color.

A satin-finished select hardwood neck lands alongside this Standard Series body with dovetail neck joint construction bringing the two pieces together. The neck's GE Modified Low Oval profile connects with a full yet mobile shape for traversing the scale's entire length with a High-Performance taper. Playability is compounded with an ebony fingerboard lined with twenty frets for seamless fretting. Along with staying incredibly playable, Mother of Pearl Style 28 inlays punctuate the dark ebony for that added visual flair.

Tying this guitar's total experience together, this Standard Series also features a number of reliable hardware specifications. A bone nut aligns with nickel open gear tuning machines at the headstock for east stringing and sturdy tuning. This experience is matched at the scale's opposite end with an ebony bridge and a compensated bone saddle with ebony bridge pins. Creating a playing experience that is fluid, expressive, and stable, this Standard Series is an effortless instrument to pick up and play. This Martin D-28 Sunburst travels with an included molded hardshell case.

As one of Martin's definitive guitars, the D-28 Sunburst is an instrument that balances Martin's lengthy legacy with modern playability. For any and every player, there's nothing quite like it.
