Description
The Martin D-28 Left-Handed Dreadnought is about as iconic as acoustic guitars get. If you're a lefty looking for that bold, unmistakable sound that defined generations of folk, rock, and country records, this is it. This model is built with the same detail and materials as its right-handed counterpart, making it ideal for intermediate to pro-level players who want projection, balance, and a feel that doesn't get in the way. The 2025 refresh brings modern tweaks while keeping everything you'd expect from a D-28.
It's built with a solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering deep low-end, crisp trebles, and a wide dynamic range. The forward-shifted GE scalloped X-bracing, borrowed from the Modern Deluxe line, adds vintage-inspired warmth and power without muddying the tone. Whether you're strumming or flatpicking, this guitar cuts through while still feeling rich and open. The ebony fingerboard, bridge, and bone pins keep everything resonant and long-lasting.
The GE Modified Low Oval neck with a high-performance taper and 25.4" scale length gives you a fast, comfortable feel that makes moving up and down the neck effortless. Paired with a satin finish, it's smooth without feeling slick. Nickel open-gear tuners hold tuning well and round out the classic look. We trust this one for any setting-studio, stage, or living room. It's the kind of guitar you keep coming back to.
