Martin Super HD-28 Acoustic Guitar – The Evolution of an Icon

Experience the Legend, Only Bigger.

The Martin HD-28 has long been the "gold standard" for guitarists seeking power, complexity, and that unmistakable rosewood warmth. Now, Martin has taken that legendary recipe and scaled it up. Introducing the Martin Super HD-28—a bold evolution of the classic herringbone Dreadnought, designed for the player who demands maximum projection without sacrificing a single ounce of tone. ¹

Unmatched Projection & Power

The secret to the Super HD-28 lies in its Super D-14 Fret body shape. ² With approximately 20% more internal air volume than a standard Dreadnought, this guitar offers a chest-rattling bass response and a level of volume gains (up to 12dB more) that allow you to hold your own in any acoustic ensemble. ³ Whether you're flatpicking in a bluegrass circle or strumming lush chords in the studio, the Super HD-28 delivers a "thunderous" voice that cuts through the mix with ease. ⁴

Premium Tonewoods & Vintage Voicing

Built with a solid Spruce top and solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides, the Super HD-28 provides the rich overtones and deep lows that have defined Martin for nearly two centuries. ⁵ To ensure maximum resonance, Martin utilized Forward-Shifted Golden Era (GE) scalloped X-bracing. ⁶ This vintage-inspired bracing pattern allows the top to vibrate more freely, resulting in a more responsive instrument with incredible sustain and a "broken-in" feel right out of the box. ⁷

Modern Playability Meets Timeless Style

While the sound is massive, the feel is refined. The GE Modified Low Oval neck with a High-Performance Taper provides a fast, comfortable playing experience that feels familiar to modern players. ⁸ The aesthetic is pure Martin heritage:

• Bold Herringbone top inlay and Multi-Stripe rosette.
• Antique White binding for a classic, aged look.
• Abalone Diamonds and Squares long-pattern fingerboard inlays.
• Nickel Open Gear tuners with butterbean knobs for vintage flair and tuning stability.
