From Our Research Team:An American Classic!Since 1931, the Martin D-28 has remained the standard by which all other steel-strings are judged. Solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, solid spruce top, and Dreadnought size produce an incredibly loud, full, rich, punchy tone perfect for most musical styles. Used for years by all the top players, the D-28 is rightfully a living legend in acoustic guitars.Typically the action is set higher on a D-28 than on a D18, 35, 42 or 45 owing to the instrument's bluegrass roots where the instrument performs with mandolins, banjos and Dobros which are loud. A heavier gauge string and tad higher action makes the guitar louder. Well-played D28's are often referred to as "cannons". The D28 is an American classic. Marin D-28 Features:

I purchased a new Martin DM in 1997. Ever since that DM has traveled with me, and been my favorite go to guitar for playing with friends as well as live.

I was wrong.April 26, 2013 Music Background: Guitar player/20 years Since purchasing the d28 a month ago my views have changed. The folks at Sweetwater were very helpful. They guitar arrived in perfect shape ready to play right out of the box. The sound opens up more and more everyday. It has that classic sound of my first Martin, but the tones are richer, the notes ring clearer, and the action is perfect. Long story short, I love this guitar. If you have the chance, pick one up. I played the HD28 and D28. I chose the D28 because the HD was to bright. The balanced earthy tones of the D28 were exactly perfect for me. This is a guitar is one i will hold onto and pass down to my son or daughter. I hope this is helpful. close [-] Martin D-28

Well it arrived and with one strum out of the case my worries evaporated! I played it straight through Saturday into the late night and what a fine piece of craftmanship ! Fit and finish perfect. Setup perfect. I love the sound and playability of the guitar It's a Martin D-28 so I guess it's the bench mark for a very good reason !! close [-] Photograph

The guitars are D-28s. My thinking is, well, if a D-28 is good enough for Macca and John in 1968, it's good enough for me now, so I'm diligently saving my dollars and waiting for the sweet day when I can call Sweetwater and say, "Hello, yes, I would like to buy a D-28 from you please." close [-]
