Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Martin’s HD-28E Standard is a D-14 fret acoustic-electric dreadnought with a spruce top, East Indian rosewood back and sides, and forward-shifted GE-scalloped X bracing. Its acoustic response is described as rich, resonant, clear, and projecting, with punchy bass, articulate highs, and a commanding midrange. Fishman Aura VT Enhance electronics are factory installed, including an under-saddle transducer. The GE Modified Low Oval neck, High Performance taper, ebony fingerboard, and 1-3/4 inch nut width define the playing platform for amplified stage or studio work.
