Martin Super HD-28 Acoustic Guitar

Building on Martin’s legendary dreadnought heritage, the Super HD-28 redefines what a dreadnought can be. Designed for players who demand exceptional projection, tonal depth, and dynamic responsiveness, it combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative engineering to create a truly commanding acoustic voice. Its groundbreaking Super D-14 fret body preserves the iconic dreadnought silhouette while increasing internal air volume by nearly 20%, resulting in greater power, richer low-end response, and enhanced sustain. Handcrafted in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, the Super HD-28 pairs a solid spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides for a lush, articulate tonal character, while the GE Modified Low Oval neck and ebony fingerboard deliver effortless playability. Classic Style 28 appointments—including herringbone trim, abalone diamond-and-square inlays, and an ebony bridge—complete an instrument that is as visually stunning as it is sonically impressive.

Super D-14 Fret Body with Forward-Shifted Golden Era X-Bracing

At the heart of the Super HD-28 is Martin’s innovative Super D-14 fret body, engineered to deliver greater resonance, sustain, and projection. The expanded internal air chamber enhances bass response and dynamic range, allowing both delicate fingerstyle passages and powerful strumming patterns to ring out with remarkable authority. Forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped X-bracing further increases top responsiveness, improving articulation, balance, and note separation across the frequency spectrum. The result is a bold, expressive voice with exceptional clarity and headroom.

Solid Spruce Top and East Indian Rosewood Construction

The Super HD-28 features a solid spruce top that provides outstanding projection, crisp note definition, and shimmering high-end detail. Complementing it are East Indian rosewood back and sides, which contribute deep bass, rich midrange warmth, and complex harmonic overtones. This legendary tonewood combination delivers the balance, power, and nuance that have made Martin dreadnoughts a benchmark for generations. Whether flatpicking, strumming, or fingerpicking, the Super HD-28 responds with remarkable sensitivity and musicality. An aging toner finish enhances the instrument’s timeless appearance while allowing its natural acoustic character to shine.

GE Modified Low Oval Neck for Effortless Performance

Designed for modern players, the GE Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper offers a fast, comfortable playing experience across the entire fretboard. A traditional dovetail neck joint ensures optimal resonance and structural integrity, while the ebony fingerboard provides a smooth feel and articulate attack. Abalone diamond-and-square inlays offer elegant visual reference, and the 25.4″ scale length, bone nut and saddle, and precision Plek setup work together to deliver outstanding intonation, comfort, and consistency. From intricate lead work to complex chord voicings, the Super HD-28 is built to perform.

Premium Hardware and Iconic Style 28 Appointments

Every detail of the Super HD-28 reflects Martin’s commitment to craftsmanship. An ebony GE modern belly bridge with a drop-in bone saddle and bone bridge pins maximizes energy transfer for enhanced sustain and responsiveness. Nickel open-gear tuners provide smooth, reliable tuning stability, while antique white binding, herringbone top trim, and the multi-stripe Style 28 rosette showcase the model’s classic aesthetic. The ebony fingerboard and solid East Indian rosewood headplate add both durability and sophistication, reinforcing the timeless appeal of this premium acoustic guitar.

Tradition Reimagined for Today’s Player

The Martin Super HD-28 seamlessly blends historic design with modern innovation. Its enlarged Super D body, forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped bracing, and premium tonewood construction produce exceptional volume, balance, and tonal complexity. Combined with refined playability, premium hardware, and iconic Style 28 appointments, it delivers a professional-grade acoustic experience built for the stage, studio, and beyond. For players seeking the unmistakable character of a Martin dreadnought with even greater power and presence, the Super HD-28 sets a new standard.
