Pros: One of the finest acoustic guitars available Cons: Cost. Many bucks, esp for vintage models

I have been playing the guitar for the past 15 years. I have played and owned many. I have never been truly happy until I met up with my Martin D-28. I chose to purchase a Martin D-28 for several reasons. I had looked at different guitars, and ...
Pros: Excellent sound quality in a beautiful piece of wood. Cons: Expensive but worth every cent.

Pros: Unbelievable sound and build quality. Cons: No front strap button. That's it.
I wasn't looking for a Martin; I wanted a Guild or a Gibson. Our drummer went out of town for a month, so we decided that we'd "get back to our roots" and play an acoustic set (Honky-Tonk Rock, electric Bluegrass, Rebel Country). The other guitar ...
Pros: Full, rich sound - great neck! Cons: Rosewood looks too dark-chocolate these days.
This is the standard by which all modern acoustic guitars are measured. If you talk to anyone who has seriously been in the acoustic performing arena, no matter what they currently play, they will eventually make a comparison to "an old D-28 I...
Pros: Classic design; perfect tone for their class; non-scalloped braces for clear, un-muddied voice. Cons: Not as fancy looking as other models, but I play guitars for how they sound and feel. Not how they look.
With all the guitar makers out there going on and on about "vintage" features and scalloped braces, etc etc. I have to say you just don't find a better flat picking guitar as the standard Martin D-28.
Pros: The Martin D-28 is a fine sounding guitar. Cons: The downgraded fingerboard and bridge sacrifices the D-28's visual symmetry and trademark look.

Pros: The infamous Martin "bark," strong bass, treble, mid-range. Cons: It's pretty darned pricey.
I had wanted a Martin dreadnought since I started playing guitar, and finally came into enough money to buy one. It was replacing a 30-year-old Sigma DM-5, which had been very well cared for. The interesting thing was, in a blind comparison, it was ...
Pros: Great sounding instrument that gets better with age. A joy to play. Cons: Martin's customer service leaves something to be desired
Martin makes a great guitar. Hands down, and for years the D-28 has been the box of choice for leading musicians. With a great midrange and bass response, it has a very characteristic tone that is appreciated especially in the bluegrass field, though...
Im probably the first to review any guitar after 10 years of having one. This was the first guitar i bought, and the last one i really need. When i purchased it, it was tan, almost off white in color, now, it is a beautiful honey brown. I guess the...

I have been playing guitar for more than 35 years. My collection includes a Gibson J45 and an Alvarez Yiari 12 string. When I was younger I just wanted to be the fasted picker on the block. But that's not really music. Now I'm more interested in the ...
