Martin D-28 Billy Strings Model Spruce/Rosewood Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar #6669

Sale price$3,799.00

The Martin D-28 Billy Strings Model is a modern tribute to Billy Strings’ beloved 1940 D-28, blending pre-war tone with player-friendly upgrades. Built for speed and precision, its unique 25” scale length reduces string tension, making intricate bends and rapid picking effortless. The solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides produce the rich, resonant bass and articulate highs that define the classic D-28 sound. A modified low oval satin-finished mahogany neck, paired with a custom 1 23/32” nut width, ensures smooth playability and comfort up and down the ebony fingerboard. Bold herringbone purfling, antique white binding, and an aged toner top give it a timeless aesthetic, while nickel enclosed gear tuners provide reliable tuning stability. Abalone diamond and square inlays add a refined touch, and each guitar includes a custom paper label with Billy’s pre-printed signature. Designed for musicians who embrace both tradition and innovation, the D-28 Billy Strings Model delivers the balance of power, clarity, and agility that today’s players demand.
