The Martin Super HD-28 expands on the legendary Style 28 Dreadnought with a larger-than-life design. With 20% more internal air volume than a standard Dreadnought, this Super D body offers thunderous bass and unmatched projection. A solid spruce top, paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivers rich overtones and a complex sound that will only open up over time. Forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped X-bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, delivers vintage-inspired tone and sustain, while appointments like bold herringbone trim, antique white binding, and diamond-and-square inlays showcase timeless Martin style. Complete with nickel open gear tuners and a dovetail neck joint, the Super HD-28 is a bold evolution of an acoustic icon—built for players who want to be heard. The flaw is known as grain run out where one side of the book matched top is slightly darker than the other This is a factory error
One step above a dreadnought
Designed long before the era of acoustic guitar amplification, Martin’s dreadnought guitars were originally engineered to provide guitarists with enough volume to stand against the louder, more powerful instruments in musical ensembles. In fact, Martin’s models had steadily grown larger since the company was founded in 1833, though that trend came to a halt when electricity entered the equation. The Martin Super D body answers a simple question: What if Martin had kept going? As you might expect, the result is an instrument that takes all the sought-after qualities of a Martin dread — thumping acoustic projection, a vast dynamic range, and unparalleled bass response — and makes them even bigger. Whether you’re in an acoustic arms race with the banjo player in your bluegrass band or you simply can’t help but delight in the sound of a chest-rumbling open E chord, the Martin Super D’s unabashedly oversized sound towers above the rest.
