Explanation
Martin / 1967 D-28
"A legendary instrument that will go down in the history of folk music."
The D-28 was created in 1931 and named after the British battleship HMS Dreadnought.
Although it's been over 90 years, this legendary instrument, which has undergone various minor changes, is still used by many artists today.
Martin popularized the dreadnought as the quintessential size for folk guitars.
Its powerful sound, produced by its size, has made it a favorite in many folk songs.
The model number 28 indicates that the sides and back are made of rosewood, and Brazilian rosewood has historically been used.
From the late 1960s onwards, due to a shortage of timber, the wood was changed to Indian rosewood.
This unit uses the original Brazilian rosewood, resulting in a sweet yet clear tone.
The rounded headstock is fitted with GROVER tuning pegs (commonly known as "milk bottle" tuners).
Compared to open-back tuners, the added weight to the headstock might be a factor in the resulting thicker sound.
The voluted neck has a gentle V-shape, making it easy to access chords, and has therefore been used in folk music that focuses on strumming.
Also, 1967 was the year when the T-rod bar transitioned to a square rod, but this particular instrument is a rare T-bar rod example from before that transition.
The sound produced by this instrument, which uses Sitka spruce and Brazilian rosewood, will surely make you think, "That's the sound I heard in that folk song!"
The bright, smooth, and mellow sound, which makes strumming a joy, is amplified by the dreadnought-sized body, imbuing it with rich harmonics that captivate both the player and the listener.
Would you like to experience the sound you've always dreamed of?
