The D-28 Billy Strings was developed in collaboration with Billy Strings and is based on his 1940 vintage D-28. It's no surprise, then, that this guitar's dynamic spruce top, rich East Indian rosewood back and sides and forward-shifted Golden Era bracing largely mirror traditional pre-war specifications. What sets Billy Strings' D-28 apart from other D-28 models is its reduced 25" scale length, almost half an inch shorter than a standard D-28. This gives slightly slinkier string tension and a comfortable platform for bluegrass licks and expressive bends. The D-28 Billy Strings also features a mahogany neck with a Modified Low Oval neck profile, a 16"-radius ebony fingerboard and a slim 1.72" nut width, for a consistent, fast-playing feel.

The D-28 Billy Strings was developed in collaboration with Billy Strings and is based on his vintage 1940 D-28. It is therefore no surprise that this guitar's dynamic grand top, full East Indian rosewood back and sides, and forward-shifted Golden Era bracing almost entirely reflect traditional pre-war specifications. What sets Billy Strings' D-28 apart from other D-28 models is the reduced 25″ scale length – nearly half an inch shorter than a standard D-28 – which provides slightly looser strings and a comfortable platform for bluegrass licks and expressive bends. In addition, the D-28 Billy Strings is built with a mahogany neck featuring a Modified Low Oval neck profile, a 16″ radius ebony fretboard, and a slim 1.72″ nut width, providing a consistent and fast playing feel.
