This Custom Shop Martin Dreadnought is part of a special batch of guitars that we commissioned to pay homage to vintage 28 style instruments with Adirondack Spruce Tops and Indian Rosewood back and sides, but with the modern features of a present day Standard Series model.
This guitar was inspired by the current Standard Series D-28 that was redesigned in 2017, which featured a medling of sorts between what had been the Vintage series (models that had a "V" designation in the model number) and the previous Standard Series.
"The post WWII D-28 had a slightly different look than its predecessor and became the centerpiece of the folk and folk rock movements at their pinnacle in the 1950s and 1960s." says Chris Martin, Chairman and CEO of Martin Guitar, "We have extracted the finest features from the D-28 of both my grandfather’s and my father’s respective eras.... The all new D-28 blends the rich history of the guitar with Martin’s newest and most heralded innovations. The 184 year old guitar maker has combined vintage appointments, including open gear tuners, an aged toner top, antique white accents, and a faux tortoise pickguard with a new neck profile to give D-28 enthusiasts a modern feel and comfortable playing experience. Martin has also added forward-shifted bracing to allow greater vibration of the top. The legend just got better!"
