Product Description:

Own a masterpiece of American acoustic luthiery with the Martin Custom Shop Dread 28 Style 1933 Ambertone Adirondack / Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood. Built to the highest standards in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, this custom dreadnought combines the power and clarity of a Grade 3-4 Adirondack spruce top (with authentic thickness and 1933 Ambertone finish) and the lush resonance of premium wild grain East Indian rosewood back and sides.

Inside, scalloped Golden Era X-bracing (Adirondack spruce, forward-shifted) gives the guitar an incredible balance of booming low end and clear, sparkling highs. Inspired by the legendary HD-28, this dreadnought offers legendary Martin warmth, projection, and tonal depth—perfect for bluegrass, flatpicking, and singer-songwriter styles alike.

The select hardwood neck features Martin’s Modified V profile and High Performance Taper, with a dovetail neck joint for classic feel and sustain. The black ebony fingerboard, 16" radius, and Diamonds & Squares Long abalone inlays make for an ultra-smooth playing experience and elegant look. The matching ebony bridge sports a compensated bone saddle for excellent intonation and sustain, while bone bridge pins (with faux tortoise inlays) and a faux tortoise pickguard add vintage appeal.

Finished with antique white binding, bold herringbone top inlay, and a Style 28 Boltaron rosette, every detail evokes Martin’s storied history. Grover nickel StaTite tuners (18:1 ratio, vintage buttons) keep tuning rock solid, and the guitar comes strung with Martin Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 medium gauge strings for long-lasting, rich tone.

This guitar ships in a deluxe 5-ply hardshell case for premium protection, making it a true heirloom piece for any serious acoustic player or collector.
