For players who seek the legendary sound and feel of one of the world’s most iconic acoustic guitars, the Martin D-28 in 1935 Sunburst combines historic tone, timeless design, and modern playability in one unforgettable instrument. Beloved by generations of artists and trusted by musicians across every genre, the D-28 remains the gold standard for Dreadnought acoustics — powerful, balanced, and uncompromising in tone and craftsmanship.

This model features a solid spruce top with Martin’s forward-shifted, GE-style scalloped X-bracing, offering enhanced projection, resonance, and vintage-inspired tone. Paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-28 produces rich bass, clear trebles, and beautiful harmonic complexity—ideal for strumming, fingerpicking, or flatpicking alike. The body is finished in a stunning gloss 1935 Sunburst, lending an elegant, vintage aesthetic to this modern reimagining of a classic.

The neck is shaped in Martin’s Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile with a high-performance taper for effortless playability across the fretboard. A dovetail neck joint ensures optimal tonal transfer and sustain, while the 25.4" scale and 1 3/4" nut width make this D-28 exceptionally comfortable for any playing style. The ebony fingerboard and bridge, antique white binding, bone nut and saddle, and nickel open-gear tuners add to its classic appeal and functional beauty.

Part of Martin’s updated Standard Series for 2025, the D-28 incorporates a thinner fingerboard, refined heel, and bridge profile to enhance both tone and player comfort. This model ships with a Martin hardshell case and is available now at Haggerty’s Music.
