Hopefully this is an indicator of better things – a brand new Martin HD28, delivered to us this week, one of the first shipments from the builder since the shutdown. The Martin HD-28, using the 14 fret D body and pairing a Sitka Spruce top with Indian Rosewood sides and back, is one of the benchmark American guitars. As the D-28 it’s been in production since 1931, and the D-28H indicates that it has Herringbone pattern purfling around the top.
HD-28
This C F Martin HD28 was built during 2016 at the Martin shop in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. It is in very clean condition, with Sitka Spruce top and braces, Indian Rosewood for the back, sides, and head plate. Mahogany is used for the neck, body blocks, linings, and back braces. The fingerboard is Ebony, as is the bridge. Wear is minimal, this guitar has been lightly played and well looked after.

This model is perhaps the perfect blend of vintage features and modern improvements with its traditional scalloped bracing pattern, tortoiseshell pickguard & herringbone marquetry combined with a modern low profile neck and intonation compensated bridge!
