After nearly a century at the forefront and serving as the quintessential workhorse for music legends such as Hank Williams, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and many more, Martin's legendary D-28 has been improved with love and artistry.

The model manufactured after World War II had a slightly different look from its predecessor and became the centerpiece of the folk and folk-rock movements during their heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, says Chris Martin, president and CEO of Martin Guitars: "This model combines the best features of the D-28 models from my grandfather's and my father's respective eras."

The new D-28 combines the guitar's rich history with Martin's latest announced innovations. The guitar manufacturer, with over 184 years of history, has combined classic elements including open tuners, an aged Sitka spruce top, antique white details, and a "Tortoiseshell" pickguard with a new neck profile to provide D-28 enthusiasts with a modern feel and ultra-comfortable playability. Martin has also added new bracing with forward-set internal reinforcements to allow for greater top vibration.
