For raising the standard in big, big ways, we've got the Martin Standard Series Super HD-28. The Super HD-28, a veritable monster among the acclaimed Martin Standard Series line, introduces itself in formidable fashion. An expanded tonal palette, a unique feel for playability, and Martin's largest body style to date all come together for a new, zoomed-out look on Martin's dreadnought story.

With this new Martin Standard Series entry, the Martin dreadnought legacy pens a new chapter. This all begins, as many great Martins before it, with a spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides. A go-to spin on the classic spruce-and-mahogany combo, these tonewoods certainly have a name of their own and a new angle to play with, that being the Super D-14 Fret body shape. The Standard Series Super HD-28 makes a big impression by increasing internal air volume by 20% over your usual dreadnought. Thunderous bass and unparalleled projection make the Super HD-28 instantly compelling for anyone looking to make a sonic statement.

Building up this body before it's even left the runway, Martin outfitted it with their Golden Era scalloped spruce braces in a forward-shifted X-Brace pattern. Usually found in their Modern Deluxe series, this brace pattern bumps up the projection even more for a formidable force. The Super HD-28's body is additionally treated to a gloss finish with an Aging Toner color for the spruce top to simulate some lived-in age right out of the case.

What would a dreadnought be without a great neck, though? The Martin Standard Series Super HD-28 pairs its large body with a sleek neck with a Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile with a High Performance taper through their dovetail neck joint construction. This satin-finished neck slips easily in the palm for long playing sessions while an ebony fingerboard feels seamless on the fingers. Abalone Diamonds & Squares Long inlays line the board for that added visual accent.

Falling in line with other Martin Standard Series entries, the Super HD-28 is fitted with a set of reliable hardware and cool aesthetic appointments. At each end of the scale, bone holds it down with a bone nut and bone saddle for fluidity among the strings and a solid connection. These pieces are accompanied by the ebony bridge's Golden Era Modern Belly design and nickel open gear tuning machines to solidify intonation even further. Martin's Bold Herringbone top inlay, Zig-Zag and black stripe back purfling, and Style 28 Multi-Stripe rosette make this Standard Series a model as impressive visually as it is audibly. This Martin Standard Series Super HD-28 travels with an included Martin molded hardshell case.

Reverent for the dreadnoughts of Martin's past while excitedly forging to the future, the Standard Series HD-28 clears the way.
