Martin Guitar Build Overview
Martin D-28 (2025) #2925575
This guitar is in excellent condition! It has been lightly played and is ready to be enjoyed again!
The Martin D-28 is one of the most iconic dreadnought acoustic guitars ever built—and the 2025 Standard Series refresh elevates this legendary model with enhanced tone, feel, and vintage-inspired refinement.
Built with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-28 delivers the unmistakable Martin sound: deep, powerful bass, rich overtone content, and clear, ringing trebles. The dreadnought body provides exceptional projection and headroom, making it a top choice for strumming, flatpicking, and vocal accompaniment.
The 2025 update features Golden Era (GE) forward-shifted scalloped bracing, allowing the top to move more freely for increased responsiveness, stronger bass presence, and a more open, dynamic voice.
Playability is significantly refined with a GE Modified Low Oval neck profile, long diamond neck transition, sleeker vintage-style heel, and a thinner fingerboard with gently beveled comfort edges. The addition of an angled nut improves string alignment and feel for a smoother playing experience.
Why the 2025 D-28 Stands Out
