The Martin HD-28 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar embodies the sound and spirit that have defined the modern acoustic guitar for nearly a century — and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music. First introduced in 1976 as a revival of Martin’s pre-war herringbone designs, the HD-28 became an instant classic, admired for its full-bodied resonance, responsive dynamics, and timeless aesthetic. Its tonal signature — a deep, balanced voice with shimmering overtones — has made it a mainstay for bluegrass flatpickers, singer-songwriters, and studio musicians alike. The HD-28 represents that sweet spot where vintage tone meets modern precision, capable of delivering thunderous projection or delicate nuance depending on the player’s touch.

Built with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides and a solid spruce top enhanced by Martin’s GE-Scalloped, forward-shifted bracing, the HD-28 produces the legendary warmth, clarity, and sustain that have made Martin the standard for acoustic excellence. The GE Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper offers smooth playability, ideal for both traditional and contemporary styles. Classic appointments — like bold herringbone trim, faux tortoise pickguard, abalone inlays, and antique white binding — evoke the golden era of acoustic craftsmanship, while subtle refinements in Martin’s 2025 Standard Series give this instrument improved resonance, playability, and comfort. Whether you’re performing on stage, recording in the studio, or playing at home, the HD-28 remains one of the most trusted and inspiring dreadnoughts ever built. Includes a molded hardshell case for convenient transport and reliable storage.
