The Martin Dreadnought has been in regular production since its re-introduction in 1931, as a revival of the pre-1920 Ditson models. First listed as the D-1 and D-2, these models had 12-fret necks like the Ditsons. The D-1 combined a spruce top with mahogany for the back and sides, and the D-2 spruce and rosewood. In 1934, these models were rebuilt with 14-fret necks and became the Martin D-18 and Martin D-28.
Featuring a spruce top and rosewood back and sides, the Martin D-28 offers a very full, rich tone with lots of warmth on its attack. The 25.4 inch scale length provides lots of tension for active playing.
This 2012 Martin D-28 is in original, stock condition – it was not a custom order, and it’s in very good condition with very little wear, on the finish or the frets.
