A Classic Martin Revisited with the "Golden Era" Spirit
Part of the Standard series, the D-28 1935 Sunburst Golden Era continues Martin's heritage crafted in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, using traditional lutherie techniques such as X-bracing and dovetail joints. This version emphasizes vintage-inspired details while incorporating adjustments designed for modern playability: an ideal approach to recapturing the "pre-war" character in a modern production guitar, featuring a timeless Sunburst finish.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
With its distinctive personality and ample power reserve, this Martin primarily targets intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a high-end acoustic to accompany vocals, hold a band mix, or express themselves solo. It excels in folk, bluegrass, country, and americana, both with a pick (strumming) and more articulated playing (flatpicking), thanks to a clear attack and excellent note definition.
Sound
The Sitka spruce top provides a very musical balance between clarity, dynamics, and headroom, with precise attack and great versatility. The Golden Era (GE) X-bracing, also made of Sitka spruce, promotes a more "breathing" response and increased resonance, with more prominent sustain and generous projection. The ebony fingerboard and bridge contribute to crisp articulation and strong note sustain, while the bone or ebony bridge pins and the angled nut optimize string alignment and vibration transmission for a more direct and harmonic output.
