If you're a player who wants to move fast and sound bold, the Martin D-28 Billy Strings Signature model helps you command the stage with effortless agility and rich tone. Inspired by Billy Strings' cherished 1940 D-28, this signature Martin brings vintage soul and modern performance together in a stunning dreadnought package. Its unique 25" scale length reduces string tension for quicker playability and expressive bends, perfect for flatpicking virtuosos and bluegrass shredders alike. The slightly wider custom nut width and modified low oval neck with standard taper enhance comfort and dexterity, making long sessions easier on the hands. Tonally, the solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides deliver a robust, full-bodied sound with the deep lows and articulate highs that have made the D-28 legendary. Visually, classic elements like bold herringbone trim, antique toner, and nickel enclosed gear tuners evoke pre-war charm, while an ebony fingerboard with abalone inlays adds modern elegance. Each guitar includes a hardshell case and comes adorned with a custom label featuring Billy Strings’ pre-printed signature and artwork. This is a player's guitar—crafted for speed, expression, and sonic power—available now at Haggerty’s Music.
