The timeless standard, the Martin D-28, has evolved even further in 2025. The D-28 can be called the king of acoustic guitars, and its high quality and musical sound have made it a best-selling Martin model loved by guitarists around the world since its introduction in 1934. It features a large body called a Dreadnought, named after the British battleship that was said to be the most powerful at the time, and is made of spruce top and rosewood sides and back. With deep bass and brilliant highs, the powerful yet balanced sound produced by its large body is suited to a wide range of musical genres, including bluegrass, rockabilly, rock, pop, and jazz. It has been loved by countless legendary musicians and has provided much inspiration for them. Even if you're not a guitarist, the D-28's tone is one that everyone has heard at least once, making it a timeless standard. -Evolution of the 2025 model- In 2025, the D-28 has evolved even further. By incorporating the same construction as the vintage D-28, it delivers richer resonance and sustain. While retaining the traditional sound of the D-28 beloved by Elvis Presley and Neil Young, it has been reborn as a more refined guitar that meets the needs of today's players and music scene. The most significant improvements are the changes to the bracing, which is key to the tone of an acoustic guitar, and the neck shape, which directly affects playability. The bracing style has been changed to the Golden Gill Shape GE-Scalloped X, which is used in the popular Modern Deluxe series, resulting in a fuller, more breathy tone and longer sustain. The neck shape has been changed to the GE Modified Low Oval, which adds a vintage feel while minimizing the increase in mass. Furthermore, the fingerboard features a thin, smoothly chamfered Comfort Edge, and the string spacing at the nut has been improved for even better playability. The key point is that, unlike the Authentic Series, which pursued vintage specifications, these guitars have been improved to meet modern, easy-to-use standards. Rather than simply returning to vintage, they pursued "easy-to-use, good sound" for the modern music scene, resulting in significant advances in both sound and playability. The new D-28 Standard, which pursues tradition and innovation, will be your partner in maximizing the joy of playing music.-Model: D-28(2025)- Top Material: Spruce Back and Side Material: East Indian Rosewood Brace Material: Spruce Bracing: Forward Shifted X Brace Brace Shape: GE-Scalloped Neck Material: Select Hardwood Fingerboard and Bridge Material: Ebony Nut Material: Bone Neck Shape: GE Modified Low Oval Neck Taper: High Performance Taper Scale Length: 25.4 (645 mm) Fingerboard Width at Nut: 1 3/4(44.45mm) Bridge Style: GE Modern Belly- Drop in Saddle Rosette: Style 28 Multi-Stripe Binding: Antique White Top Inlay Material: Multi-Stripe Headplate Material: East Indian Rosewood Headstock Shape: Solid with Square Taper and Diamond Fingerboard Inlay Style: Style 28 Top Finish Top: Gloss Top Color: Aging Toner Back and Side Finish: Gloss Back and Sides Color: Natural Neck Color: Dark Mahogany Pickguard: Faux Tortoise Tuning Machines: Nickel Open Gear Electronics: None Case: Molded Hardshell Show more
