| | Description | Martin D-28 DreadnoughtSince its introduction in 1931, the Martin D-28 has remained the standard by which all large-bodied, steel stringed acoustic guitars are measured. The large "Dreadnought" sized body, originated by Frank H. Martin and Oliver Hunt in 1916, is named for a class of large British battleship and was considered a radical departure from small parlor-sized guitars of the period. Today, it is the most widely imitated guitar model in the world.The body of the D-28, built extra wide and deep, utilizes select East Indian rosewood for back and sides, and straight-grained Sitka spruce for the top. The neck is hand-carved from genuine mahogany; the fingerboard and bridge are genuine ebony. It is this combination of materials and body dimensions, as well as the Martin originated X-brace system, that produces the renowned "D-28 sound" -- warm, deep bass response coupled with a strong, clear-as-a-bell treble. The D-28 is particularly well suited to bluegrass and country music styles requiring loud, powerful rhythm accompaniment. The original Dreadnought -- and still the best. | |

Martin Love Jan 25, 2009
By A. Crowe
"GEP"
I bought my Martin D-28 in 1972. I have a Guild 12 and a Stetson 1928 Parlor. I played my Martin D-28 semi-professionally from 1976-1991.
Being of the age that my Martin D-28 is it does not have a truss rod. Never-the-less, it rings like Christmas bells in the philharmonic. I do feel the need to have the neck reset. The newer ones, I believe, have the rod so my problem will not be yours. (The action on mine is a little more difficult after all this time and travel)
The D-28 is a wonder. It is so very true to all types of music. BlueGrass, rock, jazz. CF Martin had his stuff together on this one as it has lasted for decades + and been lauded by all the stars of the aforementioned types of various groups that have needed and used an acoustic guitar.
Construction is superb. Woods are superb. Mine is Brazilian Rosewood and German spruce top. Ebony finger board and saddle. I will have it buried with me to keep it close.
If you are looking for a sweet and life long friend, this is it as to instruments. Not as fancy as some Martins but the sound more than makes up for its basic look. Strum an E or A chord on this or finger pick or knock yourself out and watch your audience perk up. The sound of the Martin D-28 is individual to other guitars. I can pick a D-28 out of a sound track most every time.
Just a sweet and dependable friend. Buy a really good case to protect it.

D28 Martin Guitar May 05, 2009

D28 Acoustic Guitar Gloss-No Pickup
Nothing else sounds like a Martin. I have other guitars and decided that I wanted one that "sounds like a Martin". I bought my D28 new in 2009 after trying many, many $1,000+ priced guitars in local music stores. The fit and finish is fantastic. I have small hands and the neck is a little bit thinner than on the older D28s and the action is great. The sound is awesome, loud, and the tone is rich and full. I was after the classic Martin Dreadnought sound and the D28 is it. As this guitar opens up over the next several years the sound can only get better.
Martin is the standard. Apr 28, 2012
By EDWARD Charles WEIMER
The D-28 is the flagship model of Martin Guitars. Incredible tone in every avenue: Highs, Mids, Lows... This is the guitar the pros pick when the band is taking a break backstage. It creates its own symphony of sound that is unparalleled.
I had a little patience and did some shopping. After a couple months of "A - B'ing" high end D-28's, I found a true diamond in the rough. Rich earthly crunchy tone, and yet slides like silk over your ears. I played and compared this guitar against a Collings D2 and a Tony Rice Santa Cruz (both $4,000 guitars.)
The D-28 outperformed them in every way.
And the best part: It will sound twice as good when your grandchildren play it.
