2009 Martin Custom HD-28V Custom Adirondack Acoustic Guitar - 1933 Amber Tone

There’s something about a well-made dreadnought that speaks louder than words ever could—and this 2009 Martin Custom HD-28V does exactly that. Built with an Adirondack spruce top and finished in Martin’s rich 1933 Amber Tone, this guitar is more than just a tribute to the golden era—it’s a time machine for your fingertips.

The rosewood back and sides give it that low-end growl and lush overtones we’ve come to expect from the best of the vintage-style HDs, while the Adirondack top adds clarity, headroom, and a dynamic responsiveness that only gets better with age. Forward-shifted scalloped bracing brings a punch and presence that makes this dreadnought feel alive in your hands—whether you’re flatpicking on the porch or laying down tracks in a dimly lit studio.

Grained ivoroid binding, herringbone trim, and a diamond volute all whisper “pre-war” without ever shouting it. But don’t be fooled—this one’s got its own stories to tell!
