The Martin D-28 StreetLegend at a glance

The D-28 StreetLegend acoustic guitar still represents the absolute workhorse in the acoustic guitar sector for many musicians around the world. An uncanny number of albums by famous artists feature the fine frequencies of this Martin classic, which was first mass-produced in the 1930s. Thanks to a large D-14 fretted dreadnought body, it produces a powerful sound with wide-ranging bass, clear midrange and fine treble frequencies, making it perfect for vocal accompaniment in the form of expressive strumming and light Pickings. Finished with multi-ply bindings, high-quality mother-of-pearl inlays and a multi-stripe soundhole rosette, the D-28 embodies the origins of the modern dreadnought acoustic guitar and impresses with its timeless touch that is still popular today. The scope of delivery includes a sturdy hardshell case.

Top wood with aging toner

For powerful mid and treble frequencies, the manufacturer uses spruce wood for the top construction. Easily recognizable by its fine grain, tonewood has been one of the most popular materials in guitar construction for decades. In order to optimize the vibration behavior of the top, it is equipped with a forward-shifted X-bracing, which significantly influences the sound image in its definition. A multi-ply binding in Antique White forms a clear boundary to the other components of the body and, in combination with a corresponding multi-stripe soundhole rosette, gives the guitar a simple and timeless appearance.

East Indian rosewood back and sides

For a powerful note in the bass range, the hinged back and sides are made of high-quality East Indian rosewood. The coarse-grained tropical wood perfectly complements the top wood tonally with its clear and full-coverage characteristics, adding a very balanced note to the tone. Divided by a Style-28 backstripe, the parallel grain comes into its own in a very tasteful way and testifies to the fact that wood selection still plays a significant role at the traditional company.

Comfortable fingering and tuning

The mahogany neck is equipped with a fine ebony fingerboard that features Style-28 mother-of-pearl dot inlays . Due to its flat Modified-Low-Oval profile, all 20 frets can be gripped cleanly and obligingly, making even extensive sequences of notes and chords easy to master. A compensated bridge inlay and 44.5mm wide bone nut also ensure clean intonation throughout the 645mm scale. Thanks to open nickel tuners with butterbean buttons, the instrument is very easy and comfortable to tune, perfectly rounding out its functionality.
