Martin HD-28 Lefty (discontinued spec)
With its forward shifted lefty-positioned scalloped braces, Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, the HD-28 is Martin's signature left-handed Dreadnought. Emulating the D-28s that started it all back in the 1930s, today's Herringbone D-28 has a powerful bottom end, lots of volume and headroom, richness and warmth, and a strong fundamental presence that's perfect for flatpicking. It is the archetypical Dreadnought, and the most often copied acoustic guitar made.
Like all of Martin's Standard Series models, the HD-28 has a vintage aesthetic, with herringbone purflings, aged white bindings, vintage style open-geared tuners and an old-style headstock logo. Gloss lacquer finish with slightly ambered top; beveled tortoise pickguard, slotted diamond fingerboard inlays, and a zigzag back strip add to the vintage look and red-eye bridge pins finish things off with a little bit of extra style.
Sitka spruce top with forward shifted scalloped bracing, Indian rosewood back and sides; mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge. Performing artist low-oval taper with 25.4” scale and a 1-3/4" nut width.
With Martin molded hardshell case
