Martin / 1992 HD-28 CTM LSH (Large Sound Hole)
The "herringbone" purfling and the "zigzag" backstrip give this HD-28 the essence of pre-1940s Martin.
This HD-28 has been further customized and features a large soundhole.
Normally, it would be about 101 mm in diameter, but this one is 111 mm.
It certainly seems to have more presence if you pay attention to it.
Furthermore, there is no inlay on the fingerboard, as there should be.
This appearance alone may give you an idea of what the person who had this guitar custom-made by Martin at the time was thinking.
That's right.
It reminds us of the 1935 D-28 "Antique" that was once owned by Clarence White, one of the most famous bluegrass guitarists, and was passed down to Tony Rice.
(Actually, it has fretboard binding and a brimmed neck, but we are sure there was a thought for him.)
The neck profile is round and thick.
The shape makes you feel that the guitar is "comfortable to hold" the moment you hold it.
The sound has a core sound.
Even when playing a single note, you can enjoy a firm tone.
The core of each note harmonizes with each other in chord strokes to create a "bling" nuance, which I think is to the liking of those who like to strum hard.
If only I could play guitar like that." This is a guitar that makes you feel like two great musicians are watching over you from the shadows and motivates you to practice more.
