Martin Standard Series | HD12-28 *2025 Spec*
Solid Spruce Top - Solid Rosewood Back & Sides
The Martin HD12-28 is a premium 12-string acoustic guitar designed for players who want rich, layered tones with exceptional projection and clarity. Its Dreadnought body shape is ideal for producing a bold and powerful sound, delivering strong bass response, clear treble notes, and full, resonant overtones. This is enhanced by the additional octave strings, which add a unique chime and complexity to the guitar's tonal character. Whether you're performing on stage, recording in the studio, or playing at home, the HD12-28 offers a versatile voice suited for a variety of playing styles, from intricate fingerpicking to dynamic strumming.
Crafted with high-quality tonewoods, the HD12-28 features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides. This combination creates a beautifully balanced sound with warmth and projection, making it a reliable choice for both solo performances and ensemble settings. The guitar's craftsmanship extends to its aesthetic details, including antique white binding, bold herringbone inlays on the top, and an ebony fingerboard with abalone diamond and square inlays, giving it a classic yet refined appearance.
Playability is a standout feature of the HD12-28. The satin-finished neck features Martin's Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile with a high-performance taper and a shorter 24.9-inch scale length. These design elements ensure a comfortable playing experience, even during extended sessions. The 1 13/16-inch bone nut and compensated bone saddle not only enhance intonation and sustain but also contribute to the guitar's clear and precise tonal response.
Part of Martin's updated Standard Series, the HD12-28 incorporates advancements that improve both sound and comfort. The Sitka spruce Golden Era top bracing, inspired by the Modern Deluxe Series, provides vintage-like resonance and sustain. A thinner fingerboard and reimagined neck profile add to the overall playability, while the refined bridge and heel enhance the guitar's aesthetics. Every HD12-28 comes with a hardshell case for secure transport and storage, making it a reliable and stylish companion for any guitarist.
With its superior tonewoods, meticulous craftsmanship, and player-focused updates, the Martin HD12-28 is a top-tier 12-string guitar built to meet the demands of serious musicians.
