The Martin Standard Series is a testament to the enduring legacy of Martin Guitar, a legacy that spans nearly two centuries of unparalleled craftsmanship and innovation. These guitars are not just instruments; they are the embodiment of history, tradition, and the soulful resonance of wood and wire. Crafted by skilled hands in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, each Standard Series guitar carries with it the echoes of countless melodies, the stories of legendary musicians, and the promise of timeless quality.
At the heart of the Standard Series lies the Martin D-28, a guitar that has been the trusted companion of music legends spanning genres from country and folk to rock and beyond. Hank Williams, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Bob Dylan - the list of luminaries who have wielded the D-28 reads like a hall of fame for modern music. And it's no wonder why. With its rich, resonant tone and impeccable craftsmanship, the D-28 is the epitome of acoustic excellence.
Crafted with East Indian rosewood, the D-28 boasts a tonal profile that is both deep and balanced, with lush bass notes and sparkling highs. This tonewood imparts a warmth and richness to the sound that is unmistakably Martin. But what sets this particular D-28 apart is its exquisite finish: the 1933 Ambertone.
While not listed on Martin's official website, the 1933 Ambertone finish offers a captivating alternative to the standard Aged Toner finish. Inspired by the vintage aesthetic of the early 20th century, this finish evokes a sense of nostalgia and timeless elegance. Look at our studio photos to see the beautiful hues of amber cascading over the spruce top, accentuating the natural beauty of the wood grain, and lending a vintage patina to the instrument.
Complemented by antique white binding, faux tortoise pickguard, and open gear tuners, the 1933 Ambertone D-28 is a sight to behold. Its classic design elements pay homage to the heritage of the instrument while incorporating modern features for enhanced playability and comfort.
Speaking of playability, the D-28 is equipped with a high-performance neck and a modified low oval profile, ensuring a fast and comfortable playing experience. Whether you're fingerpicking intricate melodies or strumming powerful chords, the D-28 responds with clarity, precision, and a dynamic range that is second to none.
Technical specifications reveal the meticulous attention to detail that goes into every aspect of the D-28's construction. From the forward-shifted X-bracing to the non-scalloped bracing pattern, every component is optimised for maximum resonance and structural integrity. The use of a bone nut and saddle and ebony fingerboard further enhances the instrument's tone, sustain, and overall performance.
But perhaps the true magic of the D-28 lies in its ability to inspire. From intimate living room sessions to sold-out concert halls, this guitar has been the catalyst for countless musical journeys.
