Martin D28 Acoustic Guitar Buying Guide

by Joel Midgen

The Martin D28 hasn't altered its basic structure since it was first conceived in a small Pennsylvania shop by the then C.F. Martin Co. Heralded for its booming natural volume, the guitar quickly became embraced by the country music world--most notably stars such as Elvis and Hank Williams.

Nowadays the Martin D28 has a stellar reputation in the guitar industry for a beautiful, warm sound and hardy durability. Though they can be a bit on the expensive side--Martin d28 models can run you over a grand or so--they still are seen as a solid financial investment--especially in these uncertain economic times.

If you do find yourself wanting to purchase a Martin D28 guitar, here are a couple of tips to help you find the one that's right for you. (And won't cost you an arm and a leg.)

Tip No.1: Keep it Simple

For those on a frugal budget buying a simple Martin D28 guitar will be the way to go.

Handcrafted with east indian rosewood, this model is about as pretty on the outside as it is on the inside. And how about those insides? Sitka spruce braces will give you some amazing high end sounds.

Must be why the Martin D28 is standard issue on most country music recordings.

Tip No. 2: Long Live the King

The King himself, Elvis Presley, loved the Martin D28. Not just for its looks, but because of its major league bass frequencies and awesome rhythm sound.

But unlike other acoustic guitars--yes, I'm looking at you Gibson--the Martin D28 doesn't kill its high-end treble notes just to boost the lower end. This promises a balanced and rich sound that is ideal for the country music feel.

To celebrate, Martin has released a commemorative Martin D28 M Guitar to honor Elvis. With just 175 made, this special guitar comes equipped with a leather-embossed cover, complete with the King's namesake.

Now you can't take this to the beach and bang on it. It's a collector's item that will cost you some dosh. But looking at the unpredictable stock market, maybe it's safer to invest in this than some stupid nasdaq company.

Tip No. 3: Make Your Own

Now you can actually get the guitar plans to the best acoustic guitar ever. If you've got some woodworking skills-or think you've got some skills-then why don't you try your hand at creating your own Martin Guitar D28.
