Specifications

The STANDARD SERIES is really the foundation of the entire
line of Martin guitars. Historically every instrument we build
today has evolved, in some degree, from these classic Martin
designs, especially the Dreadnought.
The large “Dreadnought” sized body, originated by Frank H.
Martin and Oliver Hunt in 1916, is the most widely imitated
guitar model in the world. Since its introduction in 1931,
the Martin D-28 has remained the standard by which all
large-bodied, steel-stringed acoustic guitars are measured.
Standard Series guitars feature solid wood top, back and sides,
polished gloss finish and hand-fit dovetail neck attachment.
