The Martin D-28 is widely regarded as the most iconic acoustic guitar in the world, trusted by generations of players and played by countless legends across genres. Its Dreadnought body size and scalloped bracing delivers the bold, projective tone with strong bass, clear trebles, and rich overtones that has defined acoustic music for nearly a century. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-28 produces a resonant voice that’s beautifully balanced for all playing styles. The satin neck, featuring a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4" scale length, ensures smooth, effortless playability. With antique white binding, an ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays, an ebony bridge with bone pins, and nickel open gear tuners, the D-28 blends timeless craftsmanship with modern playability. Available in a variety of gloss and satin options, the D-28 is the guitar you can trust to unleash the artist within.

Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025 enhances tone, comfort, and style. Sitka spruce GE top bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, delivers vintage-inspired tone and sustain, while updates like a reimagined neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge and heel improve playability and aesthetics. Each guitar includes a hardshell case.
