(Used) 2007 Martin HD-28 Solid Sitka Spruce/Solid East Indian Rosewood Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar #9851

Steeped in a legendary heritage that has shaped the landscape of modern acoustic music, this 2007 Martin HD-28 Dreadnought is an absolute standard-bearer of acoustic power. In Very Good Condition, this guitar has some minor scratches on the top and back, and a scuff on the lower right side of the top. First introduced as a herringbone-dressed variation of Martin’s flagship model, the HD-28 is widely considered the quintessential bluegrass and flatpicking cannon. Built to offer a deeper, more physically resonant experience than a standard D-28, this exceptional acoustic instrument commands a heavy presence on any stage or tracking room, projecting a mature, mature voice that has gracefully opened up over nearly two decades of natural wood aging.

The foundational acoustic signature of this iconic dreadnought relies on a premium selection of solid Sitka spruce for the soundboard, paired with highly resonant solid East Indian rosewood for the back and sides. What elevates the HD-28 to its legendary sonic status is the internal architecture, featuring hand-scalloped 5/16-inch forward-shifted X-bracing beneath the top plate. This traditional design allows the spruce face to vibrate with incredible freedom, unleashing an immense, thunderous low-end "boom," a highly complex midrange scoop, and pristine, chime-like trebles that cut cleanly through a dense ensemble mix without ever losing their warm, organic focus.

The select hardwood neck features a traditional low profile that offers a sturdy, reassuring grip for classic rhythm playing, topped by a premium solid black ebony fingerboard with classic diamond and square inlay markers. Visually, the guitar is instantly recognizable by its elegant, old-school appointments, showcased by the bold herringbone top purfling, a traditional zig-zag backstrip, an ebony belly bridge, and high-quality enclosed chrome tuners. Fully vetted, adjusted, and dialed in by our shop luthiers to guarantee optimal string action and flawless intonation across the register, this magnificent 2007 powerhouse stands ready to anchor your music for a lifetime.
