Key Features
The Martin D-28 #M2844088 is a modern take on one of the most recorded and revered acoustics of all time. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, it delivers the deep piano-like bass, rich overtones and sparkling highs that have defined the D-28 for generations. With its ageing toner top and faux tortoise pickguard, it captures that unmistakable vintage Martin vibe straight out of the case.
This model benefits from Martin’s Plek Pro treatment and a modified low oval neck with High Performance taper, giving you a silky-smooth, precision-set playing experience. The forward-shifted non-scalloped X-bracing enhances projection and balance, making it equally at home driving a bluegrass band or backing a solo vocalist. Powerful, responsive and endlessly inspiring, this is a dreadnought that will only grow richer in tone the more you play it.

The D-28 formula remains one of the most celebrated in acoustic history for good reason. A solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, headroom and a broad dynamic range, responding beautifully to both delicate fingerstyle and assertive strumming. Paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, you get that unmistakable deep, blooming low end and shimmering high-frequency detail. Rosewood’s natural overtone richness adds depth and complexity, while Sitka keeps everything focused and articulate. The result is a full-bodied, commanding dreadnought voice that records exceptionally well and fills a room with ease.
This D-28 features forward-shifted, non-scalloped X-bracing crafted from Sitka spruce. By moving the bracing slightly closer to the soundhole, the top is activated more efficiently by the strings, increasing bass presence and overall responsiveness. The non-scalloped design retains structural strength and note definition, giving you a strong fundamental with superb clarity across the frequency range. Chords sound wide and authoritative, while single-note lines cut through with precision. It is a versatile platform that suits bluegrass flatpicking, folk strumming and modern singer-songwriter styles alike.
Martin’s Plek Pro process ensures outstanding fret accuracy by scanning and dressing the frets under simulated playing tension. The guitar is strung to pitch during the process, allowing microscopic adjustments that result in low, comfortable action and clean intonation up and down the neck. Combined with the modified low oval profile and High Performance taper, the neck feels fast, smooth and natural in the hand. It encourages long playing sessions without fatigue and offers effortless movement for rhythm work, lead lines and intricate chord shapes.
From the ageing toner top to the faux tortoise pickguard, this D-28 embraces classic Martin aesthetics while delivering modern reliability. A genuine bone nut enhances sustain, resonance and tuning stability, thanks to its density and natural self-lubricating properties. Every detail reflects Martin’s long-standing commitment to craftsmanship, ensuring an instrument that not only looks the part but continues to develop greater warmth, depth and character as the years go by. It is a true investment in tone and tradition.
