Martin D-28 Acoustic Guitar: Standard Series 2025

The Martin D-28 Standard is a true icon in the world of acoustic guitars, revered for its bold dreadnought tone and legendary legacy. The 2025 refresh honors its vintage heritage with Golden Era forward-shifted X-bracing beneath a solid spruce top, delivering increased resonance and responsiveness. Paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-28 offers powerful bass, clear trebles, and rich harmonic depth that has defined the sound of countless recordings. Whether you're a flatpicker, strummer, or singer-songwriter, this guitar delivers classic tone with timeless style.

A select hardwood neck with Martin’s GE Modified Low Oval profile and 1.75" nut width provides smooth, modern playability across the sleek ebony fingerboard. Aesthetically, the D-28 remains faithful to its roots with antique white binding, a multi-stripe rosette, faux tortoiseshell pickguard, and nickel open-gear tuners. The updated thinner beveled fingerboard and vintage-style heel are part of Martin’s Standard Series refinements, blending tradition with comfortable performance. The D-28 continues to be the benchmark dreadnought for serious players worldwide.
