Introduced by popular demand in 1976, the Martin HD-28 includes many of the features players and collectors prize about prewar Martin dreadnoughts. Since 2018, the "Reimagined" Standard Series pushes this 42-year-old model to a new level. This HD-28 features a solid Sitka Spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides. Like the original D-28s of the '30s, its top is supported by "advanced" forward-shifted, scalloped X-bracing. The result is accurate, expressive response, and like every good Martin dreadnought, a voice that wants to launch across the room. Of course, an HD-28 wouldn't be an HD-28 without Martin's iconic Herringbone purfling, and we think the light aging toner and Antique White binding give this HD-28 a look that honors the classic dreadnoughts that came before it. Top: Solid Sitka Spruce Back & Sides: Solid East Indian Rosewood Bracing: Forward-Shifted, Scalloped 5/16" X-Bracing Nut: Bone, 1-3/4" Neck Profile: Modified Low Profile w/ High Performance Taper Fingerboard & Bridge: Solid Ebony Saddle: Compensated Bone, 2-5/32" string spacing Top Inlay Material: Bold Herringbone
