Sometimes innovation is in the details and that's certainly true with Martin's reimagined D-28. After nearly a century at the helm, and as the ultimate workhorse of music legends like Hank Williams, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Bob Dylan and many others, the legendary D-28 by Martin has been lovingly and artfully improved. “The post-WWII D-28 had a slightly different look from its predecessor and became the centerpiece of the folk and folk rock movements at their peak in the 1950s and 1960s.” said Chris Martin, President and CEO of Martin Guitar, "We extracted the finest features of the D-28 from my grandfather's and father's respective eras. The all-new D-28 combines the guitar's rich history with the Martin's newest and most heralded innovations have combined vintage appointments, including open gear tuners, an aged toner top, antique white accents, and a faux tortoise pickguard with a. new neck profile to give D-28 enthusiasts a modern feel and comfortable playing experience Martin also added forward offset bracing to allow for greater top vibration.
