humongous wiin!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HD28!!

Posted by Mrfredsporty on June 14, 2022 at 8:03 am

this morning I let it drop in community support that I was thinking of getting a d28. Had some well thought out and great responses.John Hall mentioned that he got a hd 45(!) from sweetwater. I called and was treated wonderfully by Keaton . instead of getting a d 28 they are sending me sunburst hd 28 . I am excited. Keaton has now turned me over to Ty who just happens to be Tonys main man. Thanks again for all the wonderful and from the heart responses !!!!!

  Great question. the hd is almost identical to the regular d28 except that it has herringbone purfiling and the braces are scalloped for slightly better initial response for the top. I figured “in for a penny, in for a pound”. even though im not really worthy of this great guitar I decided to get it and grow into it so to speak. at my age if I dont get what I want Ill croak before I ever experience it. I dfinitely will be learning as much as possible as fast as possible. check it out on youtube. It should be arriving Friday

  Hey @stevieblues ;
  
  An HD 28 is a model of Martin Guitars. In fact, it is one of their 2 “flagship” guitars. The D18 and D28 are very famous and very respected among professional, performing artists. The D18 has mahogany back and sides and the D28 has rosewood. The D stands for dreadnought. The D18 dates way, way back (40s maybe?) and was the guitar that introduced the dreadnought shape to the guitar world.
