Frequently Asked Questions
The HD28 has a slightly more focused, drier tone than the HD35, which is known for its more open and lush sound – both are excellent, but the HD28 emphasizes clarity and fundamental tones.
The HD28's neck profile is a Modified Low Oval, which is generally comfortable, but the dreadnought body size might feel a little large. It's best to try it in person if possible.
It features a Gloss finish, which enhances the appearance but can slightly dampen the top’s natural vibration. A thinner finish is used on modern Martins to minimize this effect.
