Martin Super HD-28 Acoustic Guitar - Natural

The Martin Super HD‑28 takes the legendary Style 28 dreadnought foundation and pushes it into more powerful territory with a larger‑than‑traditional body design. By increasing the internal air volume by approximately 20% compared to a standard HD‑28—and expanding the lower bout to 16.375 inches wide—the Super HD‑28 delivers noticeably greater projection, a broader dynamic range, and an unmistakably thunderous low end. Despite its increased size, it retains the unmistakable silhouette and visual character that define Martin dreadnoughts.

This oversized powerhouse carries all the classic appointments that have made the HD‑28 a benchmark acoustic guitar for generations. A Sitka spruce top is paired with forward‑shifted scalloped X‑bracing and East Indian rosewood back and sides, yielding a sound rich with harmonic complexity, strong fundamental clarity, and commanding bass response. Whether driving bluegrass rhythms with a flatpick or ringing out expansive open‑chord textures, this traditional tonewood combination responds with depth and authority.
Playability remains equally refined, thanks to a select hardwood neck shaped in Martin’s GE Modified Low Oval profile, along with a smooth ebony fingerboard and vintage‑style open‑gear nickel tuners. With nearly a century of dreadnought innovation behind it, the Martin Super HD‑28 stands as a bold evolution of an acoustic icon—offering maximum unplugged presence without sacrificing the heritage that made the design legendary.
