The Story

Standard Series HD-28E Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

This is the Martin Standard Series HD-28E, one of the quintessential Martin dreadnought guitars built of sitka spruce and East Indian rosewood, now with some refreshed features introduced to the Standard Series for 2025! This HD-28E is loaded up with Fishman Aura VT Blend electronics.

For the first time since 2018, Standard Series guitars are being slightly tweaked with a nice mix of modern and vintage-inspired features including Golden Era top bracing - which is a big improvement in overall volume and projection with nice vintage tones, there's a thinner fretboard much like older Martin guitars with a gently beveled edge for improved comfort. We have a Golden Era modern belly bridge with bone or ebony bridge pins and an improved nut on angle transition from the fretboard to headstock. Cosmetically we're seeing a Long Diamond neck transition and a sleeker vintage-style neck heel!

The Martin HD-28 is a legendary acoustic guitar, trusted by generations of players and played by countless icons 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 HD-28 offers a resonant, balanced voice for all playing styles. Bold herringbone top inlay and an ebony fingerboard with abalone diamond and square inlays add a vintage-inspired touch.



The satin-finished hardwood neck along with rounded fretboard edges make this dreadnought a breeze to play! Whether you're rocking big chords or doing intricate flatpicking, the new HD-28 Dreadnought is a Martin that you won't want to put down.

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
