Martin D-28 Satin Spruce/Rosewood Acoustic Guitar #5606

The Martin D-28 Satin Spruce/Rosewood Dreadnought takes one of the most recorded acoustic guitar designs in history and gives it a more stripped-down, player-focused feel. With a spruce top finished in satin and aging toner, paired with satin East Indian rosewood back and sides, this version of the D-28 keeps the tone and heritage intact while offering a more relaxed aesthetic. Style 28 multi-stripe purfling, antique white binding, and a faux tortoise pickguard keep it rooted in tradition without unnecessary flash.

This is the sound players expect when they think of a rosewood dreadnought. The forward-shifted, GE-scalloped X-bracing allows the top to move freely, delivering strong low-end depth, clear mids, and ringing trebles. Chords feel wide and authoritative, and single-note lines carry with clarity and sustain. The satin finish helps the guitar feel open and responsive, giving it a slightly more immediate, woody character compared to full gloss counterparts.

The feel is modern, comfortable, and stage-ready. A GE Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance taper, 1 3/4 inch nut width, and 25.4 inch scale length creates a confident platform for both rhythm and lead playing. Ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and compensated saddle, and nickel open-gear tuners round out a classic Martin build. Pleked from the factory and housed in a molded hardshell case, the Martin D-28 Satin is a no-nonsense dreadnought for players who want legendary rosewood tone in a clean, workhorse format.
