Description
The Martin Super HD-28 expands on the legendary Dreadnought legacy with our boldest Standard Series design yet. Its Super D body shape retains the classic Dreadnought silhouette while increasing internal air volume by nearly 20%, resulting in a voice that’s deeper, louder, and more resonant than anything we’ve built before. Designed for players who crave uncompromising projection, this guitar offers an extended dynamic range that fills the room with effortless authority.
A solid spruce top pairs with East Indian rosewood back and sides, a tonewood combination long celebrated for its depth and complexity. The result is shimmering trebles, rich overtones, and powerful bass that create the unmistakable rosewood sound. Forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped X-bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, gives the top extra responsiveness, ensuring that every nuance — whether a delicate passage or an aggressive strum — is delivered with clarity, sustain, and a vintage-inspired tone.
In true Style 28 fashion, the Super HD-28 carries bold herringbone trim, antique white binding, and diamond-and-square fingerboard inlays. The ebony bridge and fingerboard add elegance and durability, while bone bridge pins and a bone nut and saddle complete its premium construction. The GE Modified Low Oval neck profile with high-performance taper provides a smooth, modern feel, allowing players to navigate the longer scale length with comfort and precision.
Handcrafted in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, the Super HD-28 isn’t just built to be played — it’s built to be heard. With unparalleled projection, tonal richness, and iconic appointments, this model represents the next era of Martin power. For performers, songwriters, and players who demand the very best, the Super HD-28 ensures that every note makes an impact, and every performance leaves its mark.
