Martin

Considered by many players to be the best-sounding of all Martin guitars.

The Martin HD-28 Standard Dreadnought Acoustic is the re-creation of Martin's legendary herringbone style 28 guitars. It has a Sitka spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides, and mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard. Vintage appointments include herringbone top trim, a traditional zigzag backstrip, and Martin's famous scalloped X-bracing that allows the top to vibrate more freely, yielding a louder, more open tone. Limited lifetime warranty.

Great Guitar

| Review By: Vincent Chiba | 4 months, 3 weeks ago

1 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

I have a D-28 dreadnought  bought new in 1974 and it's trulyy the nicest acoustic guitar I've ever owned, and worth every penny, and although  I also have a D-40 and it may look nicer, it doesn't play any better than the D-28, in fact, I prefer the D-28 over the D-40. Either way, Martin just can't be beat for price in value. I've heard many people say,," I wished I would have spent a few more dollars and bought a Martin guitar" many, many times during my 55 years, but I've never heard anyone say, "oh, I should have saved  money and bought X Brand guitar.Nobody regrets buying quality.

Quality:

Excellent! On my D-40 which needed to have the bracing reglued, Marting was A-1 in the handling the warranty process from beginning to end and the guys at the Twelfth Fret here in Toronto did an excellent job repairing the D-40

Value:

Can't be beat! I've owned other expensive guitars but Martin is just that much better overall in value.

Overall:

The feel of the neck for me is perfect! The the sound, keeps on improving over time as does the solid Spruce top.

Hands down, the BEST sounding Martin EVER!

| Review By: Big Rand | 5 months, 3 weeks ago

3 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

This guitar's features are true to a Pre-war Martin D-28. The tonewoods are fantastic! The fit and finish is PERFECT!

Quality:

You can't do better than a Martin for quality.

Value:

Considering the price of Vintage herringbone Martin's, this guitar is priced too low. What a deal! Forget buying a vintage martin from the 70's or 80's. Most of them are weak compared to the sound of this guitar. A Vintage D-28 that sounds as good as this would cost you a Fortune! If you want true Martin Dreadnaught sound, look no further!

Overall:

Close to perfect as you will get for the price.

Martin hit a home run with this guitar.  It sounds absolutely fine.  I've played higher-priced Martins, and although the tonewood quality for the higher-priced models (eg, D-45) may be a shade better (very hard to hear a difference), for the most part, you pay more on the higher-priced models for bling.  Although it does not have any inlay, the HD-28 sounds exquisite.  It's one of the best sounding guitars you'll find.

I've had this guitar for five years now and it just keeps getting better with age. It sounded good when I got it, but the sound is really booming. If you can fork the cash, definetely get this guitar.

Bite the bullet and buy it

Overall:
Have played everything over the years... No I mean it!  I had played a number of old D-28s and found the all great instruments, but Taylor had an allure.  I was about to buy a Taylor 6 in about the same price range as the HD-28, but I was able to do an A/B with an HD28 in a store that carried both product lines.  The HD-28 was louder, warmer and more articulate than the Taylor; and oh yeah, the Martin stayed in tune during the whole demo unlike the Taylor (a problem I have encountered during performances with many borrowed Taylors even the 800 series.)  I bought the Martin and had a Fishman Matrix Infinity pu installed and it sounds astounding.
