Martin D-28

Upgraded from the DRSG (Nazareth PA made), to the Martin D-28 recently and what a great sounding guitar. I am very pleased with the D-28, sounds and plays like a dream. I had Sweetwater do a setup before shipping, checked intonation after arriving and it's right on the money. Noticed on the setup sheet they had to file a little on the nut low E string. The factory doesn't always… read more do a perfect job so having Sweetwater do a setup is well worth the small extra setup cost. Todd Cotten worked with me to get this demo unit. I still can't find the small mark they said existed on the lower bout. They clean and polish the guitar before shipping so it must have buffed out. Very happy with the guitar a service from Todd and Sweetwater.

Heirloom quality

I have played since I was 13 years old. Always dreamed of owning a hi-quality guitar. Went through a lot of other mid-range brands. My first Martin was a DX-1 and I got hooked on the Martin sound.

If you have the bucks to spare and want a truely legendary experience, by all means go for it. You wont be disappointed. I,m planning on passing it down to my son eventually.

Unbelievable

I am so thankful to own my new Martin D-28. I use to own a 2016 D-28 in natural finish, and my new D-28 in sunburst is breath taking. The upgrades to the reimagined Martins are very welcome to what was already the benchmark for dreadnoughts. The 1.75" nut width is great for fingerstyle, and the forward shifted braces tighten up the powerful bass and make it more focused with no… read more boominess. This guitar is loud and subtle, powerful and sweet, raw and balanced all at the same time, and is suitable for any genre of music imaginable. This is a lifetime guitar for me - it will never leave my possession. I also want to give a shout out to my sales engineer, Mike Harris, who gave me a tremendous deal on this guitar due to a very minute factory blem.
