Martin Guitars D-28 Standard Lefthand

The popular classic Martin D-28 will be repainted in 2017. Accordingly, this Dreadnought now comes with vintage mechanisms, a tinted top, a Faux Tortoise pickguard and a slightly flatter neck profile for a modern and comfortable playing feel.

Sometimes innovation is in the detail and this certainly also applies to the D-28 (2017) Lefthand from the renowned noble forge Martin from Nazareth, Pennsylvania. For almost a century, the legendary D-28 has shaped generations of musicians and has been loved and appreciated by music legends such as the Beatles, Hank Wiliams, Johnny Cash, Neil Young and Bob Dylan as a fundamental workhorse. Reason enough for Martin to give this legend a makeover and combine the best details from the Prewar and Postwar D-28. Furthermore, the flat "Modified Low Oval" neck profile provides a modern soft playability and lies smoothly in the hand.

The all solid Martin D-28 (2017) Lefthand comes in classic style with a Sitka spruce top and a rosewood body. Accordingly, this dreadnought resonates with tight and defined basses, nuanced and vocal mids, as well as fine silvery and brilliant highs. The well-balanced sound spectrum has made the D-28 very popular, especially for recordings, because the legendary D-28 is considered to be the most recorded guitar in the world and has certainly shaped our listening habits. This makes this dreadnought ideal for powerful vocal accompaniment with strumming or flatpicking, while a compensated bone bridge inlay ensures clean intonation and a flat string position. The nickel-plated open tuners, an antique white binding, the tinted top and the Faux Tortoise pickguard complete the chic vintage look and last but not least a case is already included.
