Frequently Asked Questions
The sunburst finish adds a slight damping effect, potentially rounding off the high-end a touch, but the difference is minimal and largely aesthetic.
The HD28 has a comfortable, low profile neck, but the dreadnought body size might still present challenges for those with significantly smaller hands.
The standard HD28 focuses solely on acoustic tone; the HD28E adds electronics for amplification, but sacrifices some of the pure acoustic resonance and complexity.
