If there is one western guitar that all western guitars are compared to, it is undoubtedly the Martin D-28. Its history stretches all the way back to 1931, and after nearly a century, the D-28 has become the standard for how a steel-string dreadnought guitar should sound. Martin's Standard series now turns back the clock to the D-28's vintage era and reintroduces several core elements from the original pre-war models. First and foremost, the D-28's solid spruce top is now supported by Golden Era Forward-Shifted X-bracing, which maximizes the top's response and gives the guitar a livelier, more resonant tone. The rosewood back and sides complement the top with complex overtones, sparkling highs, and the D-28's signature full-bodied bass. In addition, the D-28 is now built with a Golden Era Modified Low Oval neck profile, which—along with a 1.75" nut width, a thinner, tapered ebony fretboard, and a slim vintage heel—is geared for comfortable high-speed playing and strumming.When it comes to western guitars, the combination of solid spruce, genuine rosewood, and ebony is hard to beat. On the Martin D-28, Martin has used the finest woods—you get a premium spruce top, a back and sides in specially selected rosewood, a beautiful hardwood neck, and a top-class ebony fretboard.
Premium Martin guitars like the D-28 are fretboard-treated to achieve more even playability. Fret Pro is an advanced, computer-controlled process that scans, levels, and dresses the frets, so every note in every position rings out loud and clear with a flawless tone.
When we look at Martin's history in guitar design and building practices, it is clear that C.F. Martin's iconic models form the backbone of the American guitar industry. With this in mind, Martin presents the updated Standard series: a range of guitars dedicated to reviving both the appearance and tone of Martin's Golden Era vintage guitars, while integrating a complex palette of modern improvements. The result is a comprehensive update of Martin's most coveted models, including remarkably responsive Golden Era bracing, thinner fretboards with rounded edges, a slim vintage heel, and Golden Era bridges equipped with bone saddles.
With the Standard series, Martin has managed to preserve the essence of what has made their guitars legendary, while adding advanced technology and precision to meet the needs of modern musicians. This makes the Standard series a perfect combination of Martin's historical heritage and today's demands for playability and tone, further cementing Martin as one of the most influential names in acoustic guitars.
