{"product_id":"martin-hd-28-standard-series-acoustic-guitar-natural-aged-toner","title":"Martin HD-28 Standard Series Acoustic Guitar - Natural Aged Toner","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe \"H\" in HD-28 tells you everything you need to know about what separates this Dreadnought from its legendary sibling: herringbone. Bold, unmistakable, and deeply connected to the pre-war Martin tradition that defines the golden age of acoustic guitar craftsmanship, the herringbone top inlay transforms the Dreadnought platform into something that carries a different kind of visual and historical weight. The Interstellar Tone Traveler recognizes the HD-28 immediately for what it is — the Dreadnought for players who want the full power and projection of the D-28 voice wrapped in appointments that reach back to the instruments that started it all. Solid Sitka spruce over East Indian rosewood back and sides, forward-shifted GE-scalloped X-bracing refined for the 2025 Standard Series, and a 25.4\" scale length deliver exactly the bold, resonant, full-spectrum tone that has defined acoustic music for nearly a century. The aging toner top leans into the vintage aesthetic with quiet confidence, and the Zig-Zag back purfling with black stripe — a more ornate and historically evocative treatment than the standard Style 28 stripe — signals that this guitar was built with a deeper nod to the pre-war archive than the D-28 alone provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhere the D-28 relies on its simplicity and the D-41 announces itself with abalone at every turn, the HD-28 occupies a precise and deeply satisfying middle ground: the Diamonds and Squares Long abalone fingerboard inlay on ebony brings a genuine vintage elegance to the playing surface without tipping into ostentation, and the Style 28 multi-stripe rosette grounds the instrument in its rosewood Dreadnought heritage. Antique white binding, bone bridge pins with faux tortoise dots, and nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs complete an instrument that wears the 2025 Standard Series refinements — reimagined neck profile, thinner fingerboard, refined bridge and heel — while remaining fundamentally, gloriously true to the spirit that made players fall in love with the HD-28 in the first place. For the Interstellar Tone Traveler who wants the Dreadnought at its most historically resonant, this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Spruce \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Top:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Color: \u003c\/b\u003eAging Toner \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Inlay Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold Herringbone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Antique White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Style:\u003c\/b\u003e GE Modern Belly - Drop in Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge String Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan\u003e2 5\/32\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pin Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pin Dots:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faux Tortoise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faux Tortoise \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard Inlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosette:\u003c\/strong\u003e Style 28 Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compensated Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e D-14 Fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dovetail Neck Joint \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e East Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Material:\u003c\/b\u003e East \u003cspan\u003eIndian Rosewood\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Purfling\/Strip:\u003c\/b\u003e Zig-Zag with Black Stripe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Inlay Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing Pattern:\u003c\/b\u003e Forward-Shifted \u003cspan\u003eX-Brace\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrace Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e GE-Scalloped\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrace Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spruce \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrace SIze:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeel Cap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndpiece Inlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e GE Modified Low Oval\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Taper:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-Performace Taper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25.4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joins Body:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 Fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Width at 12th Fret:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 1\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlay Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamonds and Squares Long\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Inlay Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abalone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid with Square and Taper and Diamond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadplate Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e East Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadplate Logo Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Script Old Style Overlay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadplate Binding Material:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadplate Detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nickel Open Gear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnob:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butterbean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardshell\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53221886099640,"sku":"10Y25HD28","price":3699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/Martin3017918_001availableatInterStellarGuitars.jpg?v=1777653994","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/martin-hd-28-standard-series-acoustic-guitar-natural-aged-toner","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
