larryp58 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I do expect to receive a lot of grief on this! I just acquired a new HD-28 Martin. Yes, I'm a Gibson man to the bone but admittedly this is one fine guitar! Nothing fancy about it, rosewood back and sides, Sitka spruce top, ebony fretboard and bridge. Balanced, bright tone, outstanding projection. Plays extremely well. Anybody else have one these? Okay, ya'll can string me up now!!! But this is a nice instrument.

BigKahune Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 . Absolutely nothing wrong with owning a Martin - they're fine guitars. HD-28 is a great choice. Congrats. . B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I owned an HD28P from new in 1991 until last year. I found the low profile neck hard to deal with as I got older. I sold it when I bought my AJ. Loved the way it sounded and I missed it so I bought a D28 Marquis, which has a chunkier neck, I like it. I have three Martins and three Gibsons. They are all great and all different. When it came time to pick one to install electronics for playing in the band it was a tough choice, but I picked the AJ. Congratulations on your new HD28.

E-minor7 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The D-28 is a splendid guitar indeed. I would go for one if I hadn't the old D-35. Compared to that squire it seemed right to move one step further - and go for a HD-28V. And that V makes a difference. Look forward to hear yours.

Smurfbird Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I think every acoustic player should own a Martin and a Gibson. Best of both worlds. Congrats!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I think every acoustic player should own a Martin and a Gibson. Best of both worlds. Congrats!!!! If there's room for 2 or 3 then + When I'm a bit tired of Gibson I enjoy Martin with a certain extra joy. Only to return to the G's with even higher flame ♨ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I am sure that most Gibson lovers can enjoy a good Martin also..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 The HD28 is an icon. It's one of those guitars that others are measured against. Not a thing in the world to apologize for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duluthdan Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Are you talkin' the Dave Steve Graham, Duluth ? Huh? No, just the straight up 2002 HD28 I had up until2 months ago. Was a splendid Neil Young machine, and liked living a whole step down where NY is within range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Huh? But you had one of those - if my memory serves me well. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm usually not the biggest bluegrass fast-picking whatever fan on the planet, but check this guy. What a cool choice of notes - and guitar. This is a S. Stills signature without the typical hexagram fretborad inlays of the 45, but with a star-sign on the guard. Presumably the Southern Cross.

Mojorule Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 But you had one of those - if my memory serves me well. . . I think Dan missed the reference, despite his mention of the fourth member of the quartet in his reply. Your once listed CSN, Dan... Not your recently sold Y.

duluthdan Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 The CSN went early this summer to fund the 18A. No regrets, great guitar but I rarely played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not your recently sold Y. ✓ The CSN went early this summer to fund the 18A. No regrets, great guitar but I rarely played it. Aha - but wasn't that one basically a HD-28 too. Which means scalloped, but with normal bracing-pattern (nor forward or rear shifted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I had understood it was more of a decked out 41. 1 3/4 neck. Can't speak to the bracing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read you - will look into the 41.✓ Have checked Stills' and Crosby's individual sig.-models earlier on - both forward shifted like the HD-28V, , , , , , and f.x. Mark Knophlers (which I played to get my mind blown around the millennium). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
