Martin Custom Shop HD-28 1933 Ambertone Adirondack / Guatemalan Rosewood w/case 2962012

This Martin Custom Shop HD-28 pairs traditional herringbone dreadnought styling with upgraded tonewoods and vintage-inspired appointments. Built with a spruce top and Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, this guitar delivers a broad dynamic range with deep low end, rich overtones, and crisp articulation across the fretboard. The 1933 Ambertone finish gives it a distinctly pre-war visual character while maintaining the clean, understated aesthetic associated with classic 28-style Martins.

Adirondack scalloped bracing provides strong projection and headroom, making this a responsive dreadnought equally suited for flatpicking, rhythm work, and open chord playing. The GE Modified Low Oval neck profile and satin neck finish offer a comfortable modern feel, while the upgraded Custom Shop specifications bring added refinement throughout the build.
