Martin HD-28V (2008) with Trance Audio Amulet M – Vintage Series Dreadnought
This Martin HD-28V 2008 is a beautifully preserved example from the Vintage Series, delivering the classic herringbone dreadnought sound that has defined generations of acoustic music. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, this HD-28V (herringbone D-28 vintage reissue) has scalloped forward-shifted X-bracing for maximum resonance and projection, producing deep, powerful bass, sweet trebles, and rich sustain.
This guitar is fitted with a Trance Audio Amulet M system, one of the most natural-sounding dual-source pickups available—perfect for professional live performance or studio recording while retaining the Martin’s authentic voice.
Despite being a used instrument, this 2008 model is in very good condition, with only minimal signs of playwear. It has no cracks, no structural issues, and plays cleanly with comfortable action.
