Full Description
View Full DescriptionGolden era bracing for vintage tone
The Martin D-28E Refreshed features Golden Era Sitka spruce bracing, a design inspired by Martin's most sought-after guitars from the late 1920s to 1942. This forward-shifted, scalloped bracing pattern allows the top to resonate more freely, producing a rich, open tone with enhanced sustain. The result is a warm, vintage-inspired sound that continues to improve with age, delivering a dynamic range ideal for both strumming and fingerpicking styles.
Enhanced playability with modern comfort
Designed with your comfort in mind, the D-28E Refreshed introduces a thinner fingerboard with a gently bevelled edge. This thoughtful refinement offers a smoother, more comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during longer sessions. Additionally, the GE modern belly bridge features rounded, ergonomic corners, providing a more natural resting position for the picking hand, which enhances overall playability without sacrificing traditional aesthetics.
Fishman Thinline Gold pickup for a loud and clear sound
The Martin D-28E Refreshed comes equipped with a Fishman Thinline Gold pickup, blending the guitar’s rich, acoustic tone with high-quality amplified sound. Designed for natural tonal reproduction, this pickup captures the full depth and clarity of the guitar, making it ideal for live performances and studio recording. The discreet design ensures the classic look of the D-28E remains unchanged while offering seamless plug-and-play functionality for any playing environment.
Premium materials for superior resonance
Constructed with carefully selected East Indian rosewood for the back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top, the D-28E Refreshed delivers a full, balanced tone with deep bass and clear trebles. The use of bone bridge pins further enhances resonance and stability, contributing to richer harmonics and improved sustain. These premium tonewoods and components ensure the guitar not only sounds exceptional but also ages beautifully, developing more character over time.
Classic aesthetics with refined details
Honouring its iconic heritage, the D-28E Refreshed features classic design elements with modern refinements. The long diamond neck transition, angled nut cut, and vintage-style heel offer a sleek, elegant profile that enhances both appearance and comfort. Paired with antique white binding, a multi-stripe rosette, and a Script Old Style headstock logo, these subtle yet impactful updates provide a timeless look that'll give you all the glory of golden era Martin guitars with superb modern enhancements.
