Martin D-28S 1976, Natural

This 1976 Martin D-28S in Natural finish features the slope-shouldered dreadnought body style paired with a 12-fret neck joint, giving it a warm, open voice with a distinctly vintage feel. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, it offers deep, rounded bass, smooth mids, and sparkling trebles—balanced and responsive across the register. The slotted headstock and wider nut spacing lend it a traditional playing experience, ideal for fingerstyle but equally capable when flatpicked. It’s a subtly different take on the D-28, with the slope-shoulder and 12-fret design giving it a looser, more relaxed character. A beautifully aged and great-sounding example from Martin’s mid-’70s era.
