The Martin D-28 Standard is widely considered the quintessential acoustic guitar.Built in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, this dreadnought combines a solid Sitka spruce top with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides—a tonewood pairing that sets the benchmark for dreadnought projection, rich low-end response, and complex overtones.
