The Martin HD-28E is a time-honored dreadnought trusted by generations of musicians and embraced by iconic players across genres. Its classic Dreadnought body and scalloped bracing produce a powerful, projecting voice with deep bass, sparkling highs, and lush overtones—hallmarks of acoustic tone for nearly a century.
Crafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the HD-28E delivers rich resonance and balance suited to virtually any playing style. Vintage-inspired details such as bold herringbone top trim, an ebony fingerboard with abalone diamond and square inlays, and antique white binding enhance its timeless appeal. The satin-finished neck features a Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4″ scale length for smooth, comfortable playability. Premium touches like an ebony bridge with bone pins, nickel open-gear tuners, and onboard Fishman Aura VT Blend or LR Baggs Anthem electronics make it equally ready for stage or studio.
For 2025, C.F. Martin & Co. has refreshed its Standard Series to elevate tone, comfort, and style. Sitka spruce Golden Era top bracing—borrowed from the Modern Deluxe Series—adds vintage-inspired warmth and sustain, while refinements to the neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and updated bridge and heel enhance both feel and aesthetics. Each instrument comes protected in a hardshell case.
