Description
The Martin D-28 Satin acoustic guitar features the characteristic projective tone and strong bass of Martin dreadnoughts, with the addition of a satin-finished top, back and sides. The D-28 has East Indian rosewood back and sides which are very resonant and offer deep bass and rich overtones. The non-scalloped bracing contributes to the fuller sound. Additional appointments to the D-28 include a mahogany neck in a modified low oval profile, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and nickel open-gear tuners.
Satin-Finished Top Enhances Natural Beauty
The satin finish on the D-28's solid Sitka spruce top allows the wood's natural grain to shine through, highlighting the beauty in its organic patterns and hues. The satin finish, along with the guitar's vintage-inspired appointments, gives the D-28 a timeless yet contemporary esthetic that fits well on stage or in studio.
Forward-Shifted Bracing Opens Up the Tone
The D-28 features Martin's forward-shifted X-bracing, which allows for greater vibration of the top. This construction provides the D-28 with an open, ringing tone with clear, balanced highs, mids and lows. The bass is round and full without being overpowering. Forward-shifted bracing, combined with the resonant rosewood back and sides, gives the D-28 a very responsive feel with impressive dynamic range.
Modified Low Oval Neck Profile For Comfort
The D-28 has a mahogany neck with a modified low oval profile that provides a comfortable feel for most playing styles. The neck has a high-performance taper that is slightly narrower at the nut for an easy grip and wider at the 12th fret for less hand cramping. The ebony fingerboard has a 16" radius and 1-3/4" nut width.
Legendary Dreadnought Sound
The D-28 produces the bold, resonant sound that Martin dreadnoughts are famous for. The large body provides a full, balanced tone that projects well, with articulate lows, rich mids and clear highs. The D-28 delivers a sound suited to a variety of musical styles, from bluegrass to rock.
