This guitar is in excellent condition. Has little to no fret wear, a gorgeous Sitka spruce top, abalone shell inlays, rich tone, and strums that will fill the room. This guitar comes equipped with the Fishman Aura VT Enhance pickup system and includes original Martin hard shell case. Strung with Martin Lifespan 2.0 MA550T Medium strings.



From Martin:
When Martin refined the dreadnought design in the '30s, the Style-28 rosewood dreadnought had bold Herringbone purfling around the top edge. Since then, that Herringbone trim has been known as a sign of robust Martin dreadnought tone. So much so that a good '30s D-28 is often called a "Herringbone."

Introduced by popular demand in 1976, the Martin HD-28 includes many of the features players and collectors prize about prewar Martin dreadnoughts. Since 2018, the "Reimagined" Standard Series pushes this 42-year-old model to a new level.

This HD-28 features a solid Spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides. Like the original D-28s of the '30s, its top is supported by "advanced" forward-shifted, scalloped X-bracing. The result is accurate, expressive response, and like every good Martin dreadnought, a voice that wants to launch across the room. Of course, an HD-28 wouldn't be an HD-28 without Martin's iconic Herringbone purling, and we think the light aging toner and Antique White binding give this HD-28 the look it needs to honor the classic dreadnoughts that came before it.
