The D28 has an Ebony fingerboard, solid Spruce top, solid Indian Rosewood back (2-piece) and sides, white binding, and a black and white rosette.

REVIEWS
Feature:
Nothing great, just a case and some tags.
Quality:
They are not awfully made.......they tend to be neat and without too many obvious flaws.....but the quality must be poor somewhere because they sound like a guitar you would purchase for $150.00....not $2000.00 and up. (Don't go near ANY of the 'affordable' Martins or the 'Cowboy pictures' etc......they are garbage as a musical instrument.
Value:
Martin no longer 'cuts it'!
Desirability:
An old Martin is worth a lot of money because it sounds GREAT! A new Martin is simply a poor investment and sounds like a $150.00 guitar.
Sound:
I am sad to say the 'new' (if built during the last decade or two)Martin Guitars just don't have it any more! I had a 73 D-35 that was very nice...but not as nice as the 60's Martins....and so on. I realize that much tone is gained as the guitar is properly aged...but the new Martin's sound like cheap imitations of the original Martin sound. I have picked up at least a hundred over the last decade and every single one sounded dead, uneven, and most sadly very little 'bottom'. That deep bottom was the siren that drove the company's fame. They don't have that 'sound' any more!
Support:
They can provide support if you have a manufacturing defect....but no one knows or can answer why they don't sound good any more.
Overall:
Would not purchase a new Martin..........
