Martin HD12-28 Standard Series 12-String Acoustic Guitar, Spruce/East Indian Rosewood, Natural

The Martin Standard Series HD-28 12-String redefines what players can expect from a modern acoustic guitar. Combining Martin’s legendary craftsmanship with contemporary refinements, this stunning 12-string delivers the rich, expansive sound and exceptional playability that have made the brand a benchmark for generations.

Built on Martin’s iconic HD-28 platform, this Standard Series model brings a fresh perspective to a beloved classic. Its D-14 Fret body pairs a solid spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides, producing a powerful, balanced voice with remarkable depth, clarity, and sustain. Forward-shifted GE (Golden Era) scalloped spruce bracing enhances resonance and projection, while the natural chorus effect of the 12-string configuration creates a lush, immersive sound that fills any room.

Designed for comfort as much as performance, the HD-28 features a select hardwood neck carved to Martin’s GE Modified Low Oval profile with a High Performance taper. The satin finish provides a smooth, effortless feel, making extended playing sessions a pleasure, and the traditional dovetail neck joint ensures a secure connection between neck and body, maximizing resonance and contributing to the guitar’s rich, dynamic response. An ebony fingerboard with 20 frets offers a responsive playing surface, accented by classic Diamonds and Squares Long abalone inlays that showcase Martin’s timeless aesthetic.

Premium appointments continue throughout the HD-28’s construction. A bone nut and compensated bone saddle provide excellent intonation, sustain, and tuning stability, while nickel open-gear tuners offer smooth, reliable performance and effortless string changes. Together, these features deliver a playing experience defined by precision and consistency.

Visually, the HD-28 is every bit as impressive as it sounds. The spruce top is finished in Martin’s Aging Toner and gloss finish, giving the guitar a beautifully seasoned appearance. Bold herringbone trim, Antique White binding, a Style 28 multi-stripe rosette, and traditional zig-zag back purfling create an elegant, unmistakably Martin look that honors the company’s heritage while remaining timelessly refined.

Blending iconic Martin tone with modern playability and premium craftsmanship, the Standard Series HD-28 12-String delivers an inspiring playing experience that feels both familiar and refreshingly new. It’s a true Martin classic, elevated for today’s musicians.
