The Best Sounding Martin Goes Electric
Considered by many players to be the best sounding of all Martin guitars, the HD-28VE acoustic electric is beautifully crafted with a solid Sitka Spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, genuine Mahogany neck, vintage herringbone top trim, a traditional zig-zag backstrip, and Martin's famous scalloped X-bracing. For amplification, the new Fishman Ellipse Blend system, discreetly mounted inside, features a flexible soundhole-mount condenser mini-microphone with volume, blend, and phase controls for maximum tone-shaping flexibility.
