I spent a couple hours at GC the other day in the acoustic room (yay working weekends, leaves Wednesday afternoons free :)) and took the time to really compare everything on the wall. The HD28 is the sound I am after. Just perfect.

And now, we save....

Is that a special model?...The Herringbone Trim and Trim around the sound hole seems to stand out more than I am used to seeing. FWIW I have an HD-28 I bought back in 1978 when I was 16 years old. Brand new from Mandolin Brothers it cost me 723.00 and that included shipping!

Light conditions, I would say. Reminds me of my old HD28 before I got to realise most of the money spent was for the name on the headstock. :(

I also have a HD-28, J200 and J45... Great minds think a like!

I've played a couple of new HD-28's and ever single one is killer... Just wait until it starts to open up. After 6 months of owning mine it still blows me away everytime I pick it up. It's volume and clarity seem to be continually improving.

Have fun with it!

No this is just the stock it was one of two HD 28 Martin guitars hand picked from a lot that was supposed to go the the Jersey Boys and so I ended up with this one .

Ive ot a 77, and its a fantastic guitar. A real great Bluegrass tone. Congrats on the new one!

Congrats! I bought one new back in 1994 and without a doubt it's the best sounding acoustic I've ever played. They had 6 in stock so I took the pick of the litter. Fantastic guitars.

I'd almost forgotten that my top once looked like that too! It's now a dark golden color.

This HD 28 projects the sound as if it was a cannon and what I really like is that and I'm repeating myself here but there is so much definition and clarity not only picking but strumming as well .

I can see why they call this guitar a banjo killer !
