Description
Martin Custom Shop HD-28 Style Adirondack Spruce/Guatemalan Rosewood, Black Ebony Fingerboard, Natural
~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~
Only 12 of these incredible guitars with a natural finish will be built by Martin for Empire Music.
This build represents one of our most hands-on Custom Shop Builds we have ever created!
*Hand-Picked Tonewoods
*Hand-Picked Necks
*Hand-Picked Neck Blocks
*Hand-Picked Rear Blocks
This Custom Shop HD-28 model offers the finest tonewoods and the most resonant and light-weight Necks and internal components.
As one of only 24 Martin Custom Shop Expert Dealers worldwide, we have unfettered access to the Martin Custom Shop and their incredible world-renowned wood reserves. Empire Music Owner Joe Ravita has hand-selected these specific wood sets and designed the instrument in conjunction with Martin Custom Shop Master Designer Jimmie Kleintop. The goal was to offer the finest sonic experience Martin has to offer with the highest quality wood sets on Earth.
Our team went directly to the Martin Custom Shop and hand-selected each set of Guatemalan Rosewood for these builds. To ensure the guitars reached the highest quality levels, Joe went back to the Custom Shop weeks later and hand-selected each neck, front and rear block. Hundreds of parts were inspected, weighed and sorted to find the finest examples of each component.
Adirondack Tops are the soul of the most sought after vintage Martin guitars, so we couldn’t resist designing this model with the classic tonewood. The Adirondack top offers powerful and articulate tones with incredible range and character. Players will relish the power, head-room, clarity and classic Martin tone that the Adirondack delivers.
Guatemalan Rosewood is one of the most desired tonewoods in the world for guitarists and guitar makers. The booming tones of Guatemalan Rosewood are unmistakable. Slightly lighter and less dense than Honduran Rosewood, Guatemalan Rosewood offers huge bottom-end and incredible sustain. The top-end has chime with plenty of body.
In an effort to provide the most responsive and powerful instrument, we upgraded the top to the Authentic Thickness–this creates an extremely dynamic playing experience and demands the finest Adirondack Spruce.
Additionally, we upgraded the Golden Era Bracing by selecting the “hand-scalloped” design. The Custom Shop luthiers hand-carve each brace providing the finest bracing carve for each specific top. Players will immediately notice the power, tone and responsiveness of the design.
Players demanding a premium classic Martin Dreadnought tone will find this Custom Shop HD-28 a world-class option.
We are proud to offer the world’s finest Martin Custom Shop pieces. Please feel free to reach out to our team to discuss this instrument or any in our collection.
