Martin's Legendary HD28 - Sweetwater Edition!
Many guitarists consider the Martin HD-28 to be the best sounding of all Martin guitars, and when you remember that Martin has remained a leader in acoustic guitar manufacturing for six generations, you know the Martin HD-28 must be something special. The HD-28 Sweetwater Edition boasts the same design that made the HD-28 a classic - herringbone top trim, traditional zig-zag backstrip, and Martin's time-tested scalloped X-bracing - yet, the Sweetwater Edition includes special features, chosen expressly to enhance tone! With an upgraded solid Adirondack Spruce top and premium Fishman Ellipse pickup system, the HD-28 Sweetwater Edition is a true Martin classic!

Martin HD-28 Sweetwater Edition at a Glance:
  • Special Sweetwater Edition
  • Premium Martin craftsmanship
  • Natural-sounding electronics


Special Sweetwater Edition
The Martin HD-28 Sweetwater Edition is truly a special guitar, built with the same premium components that brought the HD-28 to fame. This special edition, however, features an upgraded solid Adirondack Spruce top specifically chosen to give this guitar the best possible sonority - legendary HD-28 tone enhanced. Equipped with a premium Fishman Ellipse System, the Martin HD-28 Sweetwater Edition will pump out incredible Martin tone both unplugged and on stage!

Premium Martin Craftsmanship
The HD-28 is Martin's premium dreadnought, considered by many guitarists to be the finest sounding guitar Martin has ever made, period. With a solid Adirondack Spruce top, solid east Indian rosewood back and sides, lined with the traditional zig-zag purfling on the back, this Sweetwater Edition HD-28 is a beautiful, immaculately designed acoustic guitar. The mahogany neck boasts a black ebony 20-fret fingerboard with diamond and square fingerboard inlays. Beautiful with its vintage-styled belly bridge, and classic tortoise pickguard, the HD-28 stays in tune with Gotoh NIckel open geared tuners - complete with stylish butterbean knobs.

Natural-sounding electronics
Equipped with the revolutionary Fishman Ellipse Aura system, the Martin HD-28 Sweetwater Edition allows acoustic musicians to easily and precisely reproduce the sound of an acoustic guitar as if it miked in a professional studio. Unlike modeling, Aura is derived from real pro-studio recordings - it's factory loaded with four Sound Images created especially for the HD28.

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "A marriage of the old and the new. We have spec'd a special combo just for Sweetwater customers. This has the pre-war forward shifted bracing (the heyday in Martin's history, pre WWII), and the true to original spec Adirondack spruce top. The neck is something that I prefer, with a faster, lower action and a sleek neck profile. This isn't just a bluegrass guitar, it's one that will extend to the guitarist who wants to play lead runs too. Did I mention the Fishman Ellipse pickup system? This will allow you to use a large-diaphragm condenser and the DI in conjunction with each other to create the best in acoustic tone and shimmer on your recordings. I love the way this guitar sounds, and I am very partial to the solid rosewood back and sides for that deep, authoritative tone. "
