The Martin D-28 Re-Imagined is the best known acoustic guitar in the world. This one is the Re-Imagined version of the legendary Dreadnought. The Re-imagined series incorporates notable changes like the 1 3/4″ nut, a faux Tortoise pickguard, aging toner, and forward-shifted non-scalloped braces. Classic styling, ultra modern neck. A true modern classic is born.
This 2017 Martin D-28 Re-Imagined can do a lot of different styles. Flatpicking, strumming, fingerstyle, you name it. The most notable specs changes are the forward-shifted X bracing which makes the top vibrate more freely and gives a tad more bass response. The neck has a 1-3/4″ wide fingerboard at the nut. That makes a hell of a difference compared to the ‘old’ 11/16th neck. It not only feels beefier but play just as easy due to the slimmer “performance” neck. Fortunately they kept the diamond volute – which I always liked. Also, there are nice Grove butterbean open back tuning machines.
Other changes are cosmetic like the lacquer, the antique white binding and the faux tortoise pickguard. They add a nice patina to this baby. The changes are very similar to what Martin did with the D-18 back in 2012, making it closer in construction to the “Golden Era” line but with Standard series Sitka and Rosewood. You get not only a very well build instrument but also a very good and dynamic sounding guitar. This D-28 is in excellent condition. Some minor lacquer cracks in the back binding. Her former owner treated her very well. Check out THIS VIDEO where Peghead Nation co-founders Teja Gerken and Scott Nygaard demonstrate the D-28 Reimagined.
