Martin used it on the Style 28 until the early 1940s. In 1976, the HD-28 came with Herringbone and scalloped bracing, and the model has been in production ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 2025 Update\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, the HD-28 received Golden Era bracing, inspired by the pre-war guitars Martin built before World War II. The scalloped bracing makes the top less stiff, allowing it to vibrate more easily, even when playing softly. The notes sustain longer, and the sound approaches that of a vintage Martin. The neck received a new profile, the Golden Era Modified Low Oval, the fretboard was thinned, and the nut and heel were reshaped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHD-28 or D-28\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 2025, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/akustikken.dk\/product\/c-f-martin-d-28-2025\/\"\u003eD-28\u003c\/a\u003e and HD-28 have the same Golden Era bracing, woods, and dimensions.
