Martin Standard Series D-28 Natural Acoustic Guitar w/ Hardshell Case

Martin Standard Series D-28 – Natural Acoustic Guitar

The Martin D-28 is one of the most iconic acoustic guitars ever made, and the Martin Standard Series D-28 continues that legendary tradition with powerful Dreadnought projection, rich overtones, balanced tone, and refined modern playability.

This Martin D-28 pairs a spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides to deliver the unmistakable combination of strong bass, clear treble response, impressive volume, and complex harmonic character that has made the D-28 a favorite among acoustic guitarists for generations. Its Dreadnought body provides plenty of projection for flatpicking, bluegrass, singer-songwriter performance, strumming, and recording.

The Standard Series D-28 also incorporates Martin's forward-shifted GE scalloped X-bracing, a GE Modified Low Oval neck, and Martin's High-Performance Taper for a comfortable playing experience without sacrificing the traditional D-28 voice.

This is a brand-new Martin D-28 available from Metz Music, an authorized Martin dealer. It includes a hardshell case and is covered by the Martin factory warranty.

The Legendary Martin D-28 Sound

Few acoustic guitars have the reputation of the Martin D-28. Its combination of spruce and East Indian rosewood produces a powerful, balanced voice with deep bass, articulate highs, strong projection, and rich overtones.

The Dreadnought body gives the D-28 plenty of headroom and volume, making it an excellent choice for players who need an acoustic guitar that can hold its own in a jam, on stage, or in the studio.

Whether you're a bluegrass flatpicker, singer-songwriter, professional performer, or longtime Martin enthusiast, the D-28 delivers the authoritative acoustic guitar sound that has defined generations of music.

Solid Spruce Top & East Indian Rosewood

The D-28 features a spruce top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides. This classic tonewood combination is a major part of the D-28's signature sound.

The spruce top provides dynamic response, clarity, and projection, while East Indian rosewood contributes powerful low end, shimmering highs, and complex overtones. Together, they create a versatile acoustic voice that responds beautifully to both aggressive playing and lighter touch.

Forward-Shifted GE Scalloped Bracing

The Martin D-28 features a forward-shifted X-brace pattern with GE scalloped bracing.

This bracing design is engineered to allow the spruce top to respond dynamically, helping the guitar produce the powerful projection and resonant low end associated with a great Martin Dreadnought.

The result is an acoustic guitar with plenty of volume and headroom while retaining the balance and musicality expected from a D-28.

Comfortable Modern Playability

The D-28 combines traditional Martin construction with a modern neck design intended to provide a comfortable playing experience.

The GE Modified Low Oval neck profile, High-Performance Taper, 25.4" scale length, and 1 3/4" nut width provide a familiar, versatile feel for both rhythm playing and lead work.

The ebony fingerboard and satin-finished neck complement the D-28's traditional construction while keeping the instrument comfortable for extended playing sessions.

Classic Martin Style 28 Construction

The D-28 features the classic appointments associated with Martin's Style 28 guitars, including an ebony bridge and fingerboard, antique white binding, mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays, faux tortoise pickguard and bridge pins, nickel open-gear tuners, and a traditional Martin headstock design.

The result is an acoustic guitar that looks every bit as timeless as it sounds.
