This Martin HD-28VS acoustic guitar gives you classic dread build with modern playability resulting in a perfect and powerful dread. This 12 fret Sitka topped beauty will sing out above the mix even if you're the lone guitarist in a banjo orchestra. It's powerful yet balanced, and the East Indian Rosewood back and sides create a perfect tonal pairing with the Sitka Spruce top.
Playability on this HD is superb with a Modified V neck, 16" radius neck and comfortable 1 3/4" nutwidth. The appointments and details are outstanding - a gloss finish and aging toner on the top, 'bold' herringbone top inlay, Style 28 soundhole rosette, bone nut and saddle and the gorgeous volute and Waverly tuners on the slotted headstock. This Martin HD-28VS comes with a Martin hard case and full set up to your specs from our luthiers.
