2016 Martin HD-28 "Herringbone" Custom Shop Dreadnaught Centennial

This Custom Shop HD-28 is a flat picker’s dream for a nice 10 year old ‘bone ! Its spruce top is beautiful w/its Herringbone trim all over its outer top border & sound hole.  It’s got spectacular Indian Rosewood back & sides. It’s stamped by the Custom Shop & designated it was for the Dreadnaught Centennial. Its production level is superb & it plays & sounds fabulous. It has tons of headroom, it’s loud as all-git-out, and it sounds rich and robust without sounding tubby so chords ring out clearly and single notes sound punchy. The low-end is deep and delightfully warm, and the low E string will rattle your ribs. The midrange packs more of a punch than we expect from a rosewood-bodied dreadnought, and the highs have an embarrassment of sweet overtones. The solid Sitka Spruce top has beautiful silking and is closely grained and features a bold herringbone inlay. Please see detailed pictures. The guitar features scalloped 5/16” X bracing with small maple bridge plate. The East Indian Rosewood back and sides have very nice grain pattern and rich color. The Solid ebony fingerboard is jet black. The neck has very nice grain pattern. Overall it is in certainly excellent in all respects & comes w/some paperwork in its original molded hard case.
