What happens when you take one of Martin's most iconic acoustic guitar designs and give it even more room to breathe? You get the Super HD-28! Building on the legendary HD-28 platform, Martin has introduced an entirely new Super D body shape with approximately 20% more internal air volume than a standard dreadnought. The result is a guitar designed to deliver an even bigger, more commanding acoustic voice, with tremendous low-end response, impressive projection, and the rich harmonic character that has made the HD-28 a favorite among players for generations.
The Super HD-28 pairs a solid spruce top with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, a combination that has been at the heart of some of Martin's most celebrated instruments. Forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped X-bracing helps the top respond freely, producing a powerful low end while retaining the clarity, definition, and shimmering overtones that rosewood is known for. Whether you're flatpicking, strumming big open chords, or accompanying vocals, this guitar has the headroom and presence to fill a room.
Of course, it wouldn't be an HD-28 without the classic Style 28 appointments. Bold herringbone top trim, antique white binding, a multi-stripe rosette, and the familiar abalone Diamonds and Squares fingerboard inlays give the Super HD-28 a distinctly vintage-inspired look. The updated Golden Era Modified Low Oval neck profile with High Performance Taper offers a comfortable playing experience, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge complete the traditional Martin feel.
The Super HD-28 is a fascinating new chapter in the HD-28 story. It retains the tonewood combination, styling, and construction that players have loved for decades, but takes the traditional dreadnought experience to an entirely bigger level. If you've ever wished your HD-28 had just a little more of everything, this might be the guitar you've been waiting for!
