Our Take: For those who don't know: the major difference between the HD-28 and its brother the D-28 is in the bracing: the D-28 employs standard bracing, while the HD-28 utilizes a scalloped bracing system which hugely improves the low end on the guitar. That's what you can expect on this HD-28: a loud, resonant Dreadnought with an incredible bass response that perfectly showcases the quality that made Martin famous. Martin's Take: Classic herringbone, East Indian rosewood, ebony and Sitka spruce in the shape that started it all: the Dreadnought. Paired with our most comfortable neck, vintage appointments, scalloped, forward-shifted bracing, and a lifetime warranty. Powerful bottom end, rich tone, and strums that will fill the room—music history made new. Also available in Sunburst and Ambertone finish.
