Made Nazarreth, USA. Health dreadnough, junction of the handle at the fourteenth fret.

Top: Spruce (Sitka spruce)

Superb finish. Beautiful marquetry.
UTILIZATION
The neck is fantastic!
SOUNDS
Grandiose!
OVERALL OPINION
In the early electric guitarist, I wanted several years ago to buy a acoustic guitar. I went to a store specializing in Paris where I have tried many brands (Taylor, Takamine, ...). Nothing in my ears did not ring as well as a Martin.
I started by Martin D16RGT. It sounded not bad. After I separated, I bought used a Martin D28. It sounded much better but I had to compare the previous.
A month ago, I purchased a new Martin HD28. Although he sold the D28, I had the opportunity to compare the time of day. I took one of these slaps. What sound! Much richer, more balanced than the D28 and that whatever the playing technique used. Yet the two guitars accused an age difference of 10 years who played the detriment of the HD28. Despite this, no doubt as to which sounds best.
Do not think that only the aesthetics of the guitar exchange between the two models. Go look at the site of Martin where you will find that the X is under the table "scalopped. I would never imagine that this causes such a difference in sound. In addition, it is much prettier than the D28, so ...
I never separate myself from this guitar.
