Martin / 1992 HD-28 CTM LSH (Large Sound Hole)
The "herringbone" purfling and "zig-zag" backstrip of this HD-28 capture the essence of pre-1940s Martin.

This HD-28 has been further customized and features a large sound hole.
Normally, the diameter is about 101mm, but this one is 111mm.
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 look alone may give you an idea of what the person who had this guitar custom-made by Martin at the time had in mind.
That's right.
It reminds us of the 1935 D-28 "Antique" that was once owned by Clarence White, a leading bluegrass guitarist, and was passed down to Tony Rice.
(Actually, it has fingerboard binding and a brimmed neck, but we are sure there must have been a thought for him.)
The neck profile is round and thick.
The shape makes you feel "it's very comfortable to hold" the moment you hold it.

The sound has a core sound.
You can enjoy a firm tone even when playing a single note.
The core of each note harmonizes with each other on chord strokes to create a "bling" nuance, which may be to the liking of those who like to strum hard.
If only I could play like that." I feel like these two great musicians are watching over me from the shadows, and it makes me want to practice even more.
