To all you Bluegrass pickers, we apologize: this custom HD-28 from Martin here makes lesser Dreadnoughts sound, well, less. Built to its previous owner’s own specs in 1999, this HD-28 has gorgeous chocolate-dark Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides an Adirondack Spruce top, and is bound up neatly in a herringbone-and-ivoroid binding package. This Dreadnought has been blessed with some fearsome low end growl, and can wind up to a fierce projective force with even a light attack.
By request, Martim finished the Mahogany one-piece neck with a satin finish that feels like velvet to your left hand, and won’t gum up when you really get into that solo at your next session. Practically as clean and unscratched as the day it was finished, this HD-28 is in splendid condition, with miles and miles left in both the saddle and the frets, and comes with a Martin TKL hardshell case to make sure it stays that way.
This Bluegrass cannon can launch some pretty serious cannonballs, I'll tell you that. In combining a narrow nut (1 11/16") with a slightly beefy neck, Martin Guitars gave this Dread a super comfy setup that feels great for my left hand. 
I love the feel of this one with its satin-finished neck. The tone is what you'd expect from one of the better Martin dreadnoughts, with big bass response and a powerful punch. This one also has some of the best-looking rosewood I've seen on a newer Martin guitar. | Scale Length | 25.38 in |
