The D-28 Dreadnought is one of Martin's true flagship acoustic guitars. Its sound and playability have been loved by many players across musical genres, i.e. Hank Williams Sr. and Jimmy Page. The front of the D-28 Satin is made of spruce, while the back and sides are made of Indian rosewood. This combination of woods gives the instrument great sound projection, tonal articulation and balance across the frequency spectrum. The resonance of the soundboard and the overall good acoustic properties of the guitar are enhanced by the special X-ribbing (Forward-Shifted X-Brace).
The mahogany neck is glued to an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets. Orientation on the fingerboard surface is facilitated by pearl position dots. A compensated bone saddle set on an ebony fingerboard gives the strings, along with a bone fretboard, great resonance and sustain. A tortoiseshell imitation pickguard protects the guitar's lacquer from scratches caused by pick playing. The stylish finish is accentuated by the satin finish on the body and the Martin logo on the headstock.
The guitar comes in a carrying case, making it instantly ready to be loaded into your car/van for long or short trips to pursue your musical dreams.
The American Martin company, founded in 1833, is quite deservedly one of the biggest and most respected names in stringed instruments. For decades, it has been one of the leading innovators in guitar design and manufacturing technology. However, to use only the past tense would be a great mistake; instruments with the Martin logo are still today among the guarantees of the highest quality in craftsmanship and sound. In addition, their current products use "eco-friendly" components made from renewable resources and composite materials.
