Details
The HD-28 2R was a limited run of HD-28 variants made in 1993/'94. Along with forward-shifted scalloped X bracing, it also has an enlarged soundhole (4 1/4" instead of 4") with double rings of herringbone for the rosette. Fretboard has 22 frets, instead of the usual 20, so it hangs over the edge of soundhole like Martin's Clarence White/Tony Rice models. The bridge has been replaced with a stock Martin bridge, and the original frets show light wear. There are some playing-wear dings to the top (see photos) but no cracks anywhere, and this guitar probably hung in a room with sunlight as the herringbone on the top is lighter in color than most HD-28s and the top has an appealing aged patina to the surface. It has that classic deep tone of a rosewood Martin D with forward-shifted bracing and plenty of volume. Comes with the original Martin molded hardshell case.
