Martin Used Historic 600-Year-Old Wood in a Guitar (Here's How it Sounds)

Martin just dropped the HD-28 Semiquincentennial to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, and it is a literal piece of 600-year-old history. Instead of choking the tone with a heavy cosmetic graphic, Martin utilized advanced Mamaki finish science to keep this reclaimed spruce top completely unrestricted. Think of it like a meticulously engineered, mid-century modern architectural masterwork—bold, structural, and entirely functional for the stage. But is holding a piece of Revolutionary-era Basking Ridge Oak worth the $6,299 price tag, or are you just buying a dressed-up HD-28? John and Jeremy dive into the specs, the trade-offs, and the sheer stage presence of this incredibly limited dreadnought. 🔗 Shoppe Martin Guitars Here! - https://theacousticshoppe.com/collect... 🔗Join the Dread-Not Underground!
