Product overview

About this model

The Martin Custom Shop HD 28 Style Adirondack Spruce-East Indian Rosewood Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar offers a rare mix of old-school craftsmanship and modern performance. Built with an Adirondack spruce top and forward-shifted X-bracing, the body produces a punchy, focused tone that works for live sets or recording. East Indian rosewood forms the back and sides, adding depth and sustain to each chord. With the L.R. Baggs Anthem onboard, players can blend studio-quality pickup sound with the natural voice of the acoustic. The modified low oval neck profile, bone nut, and ebony fingerboard combine for an easy, comfortable grip. This dreadnought model suits guitarists who need strong projection and reliable electronics for stage or studio use. Adirondack Spruce Top and Forward-Shifted X-Bracing Enhance Projection The Adirondack spruce top on this model reacts well to both picking and strumming. Forward-shifted X-bracing supports the top, letting it vibrate freely and send more sound out front. The result is louder volume, defined attack and a clear voice in a full band mix. This bracing also increases dynamic range, so soft and loud passages come through with detail. The combination boosts clarity for solo runs and power chords alike. East Indian Rosewood Back and Sides Add Depth and Sustain Rosewood back and sides push the sound further by increasing bass response and holding notes longer. The natural grain looks striking under a gloss finish, while herringbone inlay and antique white binding add visual detail. This body design makes the guitar sound fuller in small rooms and carry in larger venues. Players get a rich tone that supports singing, fingerstyle and aggressive rhythm work. L.R. Baggs Anthem Electronics Streamline Amplification The L.R. Baggs Anthem system blends a microphone and pickup for true acoustic tone when plugged" Controls sit discreetly inside, so the guitar's top remains clean. The system handles feedback and lets users dial in their preferred mix. On stage, the electronics deliver consistent sound with minimal fuss—no extra pedals or tuning needed. Fast setup helps musicians spend more time playing, less time adjusting gear. High-Quality Construction With Durable Materials Every part of this instrument uses select hardwoods, bone, and nickel hardware. The dovetail neck joint keeps the neck stable, while the gloss finish protects against scratches and humidity. Grover tuners hold pitch through long sessions. The molded hardshell case shields the guitar from impacts during travel. This build ensures the instrument's tone and looks will last for years of regular use. Martin Custom Shop HD 28 Experience: Stage-Ready Tone Meets Enduring Build Players who value authentic acoustic sound and modern reliability find the Martin dreadnought delivers every session. Strong projection, easy electronics, and rugged materials combine to support focused practice and confident performance. This guitar rewards careful technique with volume and detail, helping musicians push their sound further with every chord.
