Martin Custom Shop 28 Style Dreadnought 1935 Sunburst Adirondack / Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood
Overview
This Martin Custom Shop 28 Style Dreadnought pairs a premium Adirondack spruce top with wild grain East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering a powerful, dynamic voice with depth and clarity. The Adirondack top provides strong headroom and quick response, while the rosewood adds rich overtones and a full low-end foundation. Finished in a 1935 Sunburst, this build leans into a more vintage-inspired visual while maintaining modern playability.
Scalloped Adirondack bracing helps the top open up with a lively, responsive feel, making it equally suited for aggressive strumming or articulate flatpicking. The Modified V neck profile offers a more traditional hand feel compared to the standard low oval, giving it a slightly fuller shape that many players prefer. With a gloss body and satin neck, this Custom Shop piece balances classic styling with a comfortable, broken-in feel.
