Martin Custom HD-28 Style - Adirondack Spruce/Cocobolo

Martin Custom HD-28 Style - Adirondack Spruce/Cocobolo (RHMC Spec)

This guitar is a standout from our trip to the Martin Factory in Pennsylvania, chosen the same way we picked the rest of the collection. We spent time pulling sets of wood off the racks, looking for pieces that had a certain presence even before they were built. This one had it right away. The Adirondack spruce top had a strong, clean look, and the cocobolo back and sides showed deep color and dramatic figure that felt unmistakably special. The antique white binding, Style 45 rosette, and perimeter pearl give it a refined, classic look, and the gloss body with a satin neck keeps everything feeling smooth and inviting.

Once you start playing, the guitar begins to show what it can grow into. The GE Modified Low Oval neck feels natural in the hand, and the Adirondack bracing gives the instrument room to develop power and clarity as it opens up. The long Style 45 snowflake inlays add a final touch of elegance that matches the rest of the build. It is a guitar chosen with intention from the very beginning, built from woods we selected ourselves at the factory, and ready to become even more expressive over time.
