The Martin HD-28 Semiquincentennial exists in a category so rare, so freighted with historical meaning, that the Interstellar Tone Traveler had to pause before finding words worthy of it. This is not simply a limited edition guitar — it is a tangible piece of American history, built by a company that has been woven into the fabric of this nation for nearly two centuries, in celebration of 250 years of independence. At the heart of this instrument lies something extraordinary: wood from the Basking Ridge white oak, a 600-year-old tree that stood through the First Great Awakening, witnessed the Revolutionary War, and sheltered George Washington's troops as they drilled beneath its branches. Washington himself is said to have picnicked under that tree with the Marquis de Lafayette. That living witness to the birth of a nation now lives in your hands — in the white oak endpiece, heel cap, and Liberty Bell headplate inlay that crown this guitar with quiet, reverent authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBuilt on the iconic HD-28 platform — itself celebrating its own 50th anniversary this year — every specification has been chosen to honor the gravity of the moment. A reclaimed Sitka spruce top adorned with custom original artwork by Martin artist Robert Goetzl transforms the instrument's face into a canvas for American imagery, while bold herringbone top inlay, abalone Semiquincentennial Star Design fingerboard inlays, and a Script Old Style abalone headplate logo with Liberty Bell in white oak complete an aesthetic that is simultaneously historic and breathtaking. East Indian Rosewood back and sides, forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped X-bracing, a compensated bone saddle, bone bridge pins, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge deliver the full, resonant HD-28 voice that has inspired generations of players. Only 250 of these guitars will ever exist — one for each year of American independence. This is Martin at its most meaningful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Reclaimed Sitka Spruce \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Top:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Color: \u003c\/b\u003eCustom Ink Artwork Designed by Robert Goetzl\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 2 5\/32\"\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\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 Indian Rosewood \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 X-Brace\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 White Oak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Oak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndpiece Inlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\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\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 Semiquincentennial Star Design\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 (Abalone) with Liberty Bell in White Oak\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 (Molded) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53680918626488,"sku":"10HD28SEMIQUINCENTENNIAL","price":6299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/MartinLTDHD-28Semiquincentennial__0002_HD-28SemiquincentennialFrontBody.jpg?v=1783006803","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/martin-limited-edition-hd-28-semiquincentennial","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
