Martin D-28 Standard Dreadnought Acoustic
Item: MAD28
The Standard Series is really the foundation of the entire line of Martin guitars. Historically, every instrument we build today has evolved, in some degree, from these classic Martin designs, especially the Dreadnought. The large Dreadnought sized body, originated by Frank H. Martin and Oliver Hunt in 1916, is the most widely imitated guitar model in the world. Since its introduction in 1931, the Martin D-28 has remained the standard by which all large-bodied, steel-stringed acoustic guitars are measured. Standard Series guitars feature solid wood top,back and sides, polished gloss finish and hand-fit dovetail neck attachment.
