Discover the iconic sound and craftsmanship of the Martin D-28 Acoustic Guitar, available exclusively at Irvine Art and Music. Known affectionately as the "tone cannon," the D-28 has set the standard for acoustic guitars with its powerful projection and rich tone, making it a favorite for stage and studio performances alike.

Classic Martin Tone and Timeless Design

The Martin D-28 features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering a well-balanced tonal range with deep bass and rich overtones. The forward-shifted bracing pattern allows for greater vibration of the top, enhancing the guitar's projection and resonance. This combination of tonewoods provides a classic Martin sound that has been cherished by musicians for decades.

Modern Playability with Vintage Appeal

Blending vintage aesthetics with modern innovations, the D-28 boasts open-gear tuners, an aged toner top, antique white accents, and a faux tortoise pickguard. The modern neck profile offers improved comfort and playability, making it easier to play for extended periods. Choose between full gloss, full satin with an aging toner top, or full satin with an amberburst top to suit your personal style.

A History of Musical Excellence

The Martin D-28 has been the guitar of choice for music legends such as Hank Williams, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan. Its iconic tone and craftsmanship have made it a cornerstone in the history of modern music, particularly in bluegrass, folk, and rock genres.

Quality Tonewoods for Timeless Sound

The D-28 is crafted with premium tonewoods, including a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides. This combination ensures spectacular note clarity, big projection, and a focused low frequency response that is tight and never boomy. The solid wood neck with a solid black ebony fingerboard provides smooth playability and enhances the guitar's overall sound.
