{"product_id":"martin-d-28-discontinued-spec-3236","title":"Martin D-28 (discontinued spec)","description":"This model has been replaced with the updated Y25 (2025) version found \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/new-instruments\/item\/id.5251\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nMartin's redesigned standard D-28 offers players an appealing combination of vintage-inspired and modern features.  They've made everything about the venerable D-28 more exciting. Taking a page from the recent OM-28, D-18, and 000-18 playbook, the new D-28 sports vintage style headstock logo, open geared tuners, bevelled edge faux-tortoise pickguard, and a toned lacquer finish.  The top's bracing is forward shifted but left unscalloped, which is a departure for Martin.  Instead, the lower X arms and tone bars are tapered much like the braces on a mid 1940's D-28, which results in a louder guitar that retains balance across the strings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe guitar's neck is carved into Martin's popular modified low oval, with a high performance fingerboard taper that allows a wider 1-3\/4” nut with a flat-pick friendly 2-5\/32 string spread at the bridge.  Bone nut and saddle are standard, and the bridge is an attractive modern belly with angled pins.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nKind of like a vintage recreation of a model that never was, the new D-28 collects features from pre-war, wartime, and postwar versions of its own history.  It's a great sounding guitar, and offers a marked improvement in tone from its predecessor (if you want to know the truth). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nWith hardshell case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nClick \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oClWI-Xp7DQ\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e for our hi-def video comparison of this D-28 2017 vs a Martin D-35. \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n","brand":"C.F.
