Martin D-28 Standard Acoustic Guitar

The Benchmark of All Dreadnoughts

Since 1931, the Martin D-28 has set the standard by which all other steel-string dreadnought guitars are measured. Beloved by legends across rock, country, bluegrass, and pop, the D-28 continues to define the classic American acoustic sound.

The refreshed 2025 D-28 returns to its golden-era roots with vintage-inspired design upgrades and modern enhancements for today’s players. Whether you're on stage or strumming at home, this guitar delivers the unmistakable Martin tone and feel that has inspired generations.
