C.F. Martin & Co D-28E (Fishman Matrix Infinity)

Essential information about the D-28E guitar (Fishman Matrix Infinity)

• Dreadnought format: large volume reserve, deep bass, and ideal projection for accompaniment.


• Spruce top (Sitka): precise attack, good dynamics, and excellent definition in both strumming and picking.


• East Indian rosewood back and sides: rich lows, generous harmonics, and natural sustain.


• Fishman electronics: a reliable solution to retain the acoustic character once plugged in, on stage or in the studio.

A reference dreadnought, designed for the stage

With its dreadnought format and highly sought-after wood configuration, the D-28E follows the tradition of folk guitars designed to carry far, support the voice, and fill the space effortlessly. The electro-acoustic version adds a modern dimension: you keep the sound personality of a great folk guitar while gaining practicality whenever you need to plug in (rehearsals, concerts, recording).

For which guitarists and styles?

The D-28E is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an expressive and solid folk guitar for real playing contexts (pick playing, arpeggios, accompaniment). Its dreadnought format is particularly suited to country, folk, acoustic rock, pop, and vocal accompaniment. If you are looking for an instrument that remains present in a mix, with a broad low end and a good power reserve, this configuration is a natural choice.

Sound

The Sitka spruce top provides clarity and a quick response, with great dynamics: the harder you attack, the more the guitar "opens up." The East Indian rosewood back and sides enrich the sound with deep lows and silky highs, while enhancing the sensation of sustain and harmonic width. The ebony fingerboard adds a clear attack and appreciable definition, especially on open chords and melodic lines. Once plugged in, the Fishman Matrix Infinity electronics are designed to deliver a credible acoustic sound with a usable direct signal.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the best out of it, you can opt for a steel folk string set for a 6-string guitar (metal strings), a tuner (clip or pedal), plectrums suited to your attack, as well as a humidifier and a microfiber cloth to preserve the instrument's stability and shine.
