All Martin guitars have always used top notch woods. These woods are expertly inspected and selected by the wood experts at Martin. Nothing else sounds like a Martin guitar, and many of the most famous small builders in the world use Martin's original designs as foundations for their instruments. This 1998 Martin HD28VR is in very good condition. It has sustained minor, surface only scratches the top, back and sides. We've done our best to capture these in the detailed photos below. It has no fretwear and includes the original Martin Hardshell Case.During the 1980s, Martin made some custom order and short production-run reissues of the legendary pre-World War II model D-28. The pre-War D-28s are affectionately known as “herringbones” or just “bones”. This is due to the herringbone marquetry inlaid along the perimeter of the top.The 1980s reissues proved to be popular enough that Martin introduced a pre-War reissue series in the 1990s. This Vintage series included the D-28 in 14-fret (HD-28VR) and 12-fret (HD-28VS) versions, the D-18VR, the D-18VS, the OM-28VR, the 000-28EC Eric Clapton signature model, and the D-45VR.These guitars are not true reproductions of the orginals, however. The HD-28VR has some features not found on a pre-War D-28. These include a satin finish neck, smaller “modified” V-shape neck profile, adjustable truss rod, and Indian rosewood body. Regardless of the modernization, the HD-28 still has the classic Martin dreadnaught sound.The Martin HD-28 uses what Martin calls "forward-shifted" bracing; that is, the X-brace under the top is shifted closer to the sound-hole than in a standard D-28. Forward shifted bracing usually has the effect of increasing bass response by opening up more of the lower bout of the soundboard.
