Martin HD-28 Natural w/case

The 2025 Martin HD-28 continues the legacy of one of the most beloved dreadnoughts ever made. Built with East Indian rosewood back and sides and a spruce top finished in aging toner, this HD-28 blends classic pre-war styling with modern precision. Its bold herringbone trim, antique white binding, and forward-shifted scalloped bracing deliver the open, powerful voice that defines Martin’s heritage.

Paired with the GE Modified Low Oval neck and High-Performance Taper, the HD-28 feels fast, comfortable, and exceptionally balanced from the first fret to the last. Every detail, from the faux tortoise pickguard to the bone bridge pins, reflects Martin’s deep respect for tradition and tone. Whether you’re recording, performing, or simply playing for pleasure, the HD-28 stands as one of the finest examples of Martin craftsmanship available today.
