Martin Custom Shop Dread 28 style Adirondack/WEIR w/Case 2942908

Serial: 2942908

This Martin Custom Shop Dreadnought combines the timeless voice of the Style 28 platform with premium tonewoods and vintage-inspired specifications chosen to maximize clarity, projection, and responsiveness. Built with an Adirondack spruce top and wild grain East Indian rosewood back and sides, this Custom Shop instrument delivers the powerful headroom and rich overtone content that define Martin’s most sought-after dreadnoughts.

The Adirondack spruce top provides exceptional dynamic range and projection, making the guitar particularly responsive to both aggressive flatpicking and nuanced fingerstyle playing. Paired with the deep, complex character of wild grain East Indian rosewood, the result is a bold dreadnought voice with strong bass response, clear mids, and shimmering highs.

Adirondack spruce scalloped bracing further enhances the instrument’s responsiveness, allowing the top to move freely while maintaining the structural integrity needed for strong projection. The ebony fingerboard and bridge add articulation and snap to the overall tonal profile, while the traditional Style 28 appointments keep the aesthetic rooted firmly in Martin’s historic design language.

The full thickness V neck profile with a 1930s style heel provides a substantial vintage-inspired feel, offering excellent support for both chord work and lead lines across the 25.4" scale length. Finished with a gloss body and satin neck for smooth playability, this Custom Shop dreadnought blends classic Martin tone with thoughtful modern refinement.
