Martin Custom Shop 28 Style Dreadnought Adirondack / Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood

Weight: [not provided]

Overview

This Martin Custom Shop 28 Style Dreadnought is built around a traditional platform with upgraded tonewoods and a slightly different neck carve that sets it apart. The Adirondack spruce top delivers strong headroom and a quick, dynamic response, while the wild grain East Indian rosewood back and sides provide depth, rich overtones, and a more visually distinctive character. The dreadnought body offers the power and projection expected from this shape, making it well-suited for both flatpicking and strumming applications.

Scalloped Adirondack bracing helps the top respond evenly and openly, giving the guitar a lively, articulate feel. The Modified V neck profile adds a more pronounced shape compared to the standard low oval, offering a different hand feel that many players prefer for traditional-style playing. Finished with a gloss body and satin neck, this Custom Shop build balances classic styling with player-focused details.
