Martin HD-28 Acoustic Guitar (2025RF)

The Martin HD-28 is a legendary acoustic guitar, trusted by generations of players and played by countless icons across genres. Its Dreadnought body size and scalloped bracing delivers the bold, projective tone with strong bass, clear trebles, and rich overtones that has defined acoustic music for nearly a century. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the HD-28 offers a resonant, balanced voice for all playing styles. Bold herringbone top inlay and an ebony fingerboard with abalone diamond and square inlays add a vintage-inspired touch. The satin neck, featuring a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4" scale length, ensures effortless playability. Complete with antique white binding, an ebony bridge with bone pins, and nickel open gear tuners, the HD-28 blends timeless craftsmanship with modern versatility. Available in a variety of gloss options, it’s a guitar you can trust to unleash the artist within.

Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025 enhances tone, comfort, and style. Sitka spruce GE top bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, delivers vintage-inspired tone and sustain, while updates like a reimagined neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge and heel improve playability and aesthetics. Each guitar includes a hardshell case.

The HD-28...there is nothing else like it. The Hugo Helmer guys were great, and I could tell right away that the HD-28 was going to be something special. The intonation is perfect all the way up the neck, the finish is flawless, and the subtle construction details like the herringbone binding and the snowflake position markers are wonderful, but all that pales in comparison to the voice of this guitar -- it is loud, it is well balanced, and it is incredibly rich. The guitar is fairly expensive compared to some of the other makes and models, but there is no question that it is worth it. I've had this guitar for several months now, and it continues to grow on me. I can't put it down -- it constantly makes me want to play and to want to play better. That was the surprising thing for me. I didn't suspect that I might have been in a rut until this guitar came along. I have always wanted a Martin, and I put it off due to the cost. Looking back, I have bought several very good guitars over the years, but knowing what I know now, I would have been money ahead to buy the Martin years ago. There is truly nothing else that compares.
