Martin HD-28 (2015) – Rosewood Dreadnought with LR Baggs Lyric Pickup
This Martin HD-28 (2015) is a beautiful example of Martin’s herringbone dreadnought tradition. Built before the “Reimagined” series, it features the classic pre-war styling and rich tonal voice that has made the HD-28 a benchmark among rosewood dreadnoughts.
The guitar is upgraded with a factory-installed LR Baggs Lyric pickup system, giving it a natural and detailed amplified tone that makes it ideal for both stage and studio.
With its solid Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, the HD-28 delivers the powerful bass, clear trebles, and shimmering overtones that players expect from a premium dreadnought. Its forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and projection, making it a true performer for flatpicking, strumming, and fingerstyle alike.
