Inspired by Billy Strings’ prized 1940 D-28, the Martin D-28 features a modern twist on a classic pre-war design. Billy Strings has incorporated features tailored to his electrifying playing style. This signature Dreadnought boasts a unique 25” scale length, which reduces string tension, allowing for fast, intricate playing and expressive bends. This is perfectly suited for Billy’s rapid-fire licks. The guitar also has a slightly slimmer nut width and modified low oval satin neck, which enhances comfort and speed, making it ideal for players who crave agility up and down the neck. 

The solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, and spruce top deliver a full, resonant tone with rich bass. The bold herringbone trim, antique toner, and antique white binding add vintage flair. Nickel-enclosed gear tuners, exclusive to Martin, and an ebony fingerboard with abalone diamond and square inlay round out the guitar’s looks and performance. The Martin D-28 strikes an ideal balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern playability, much like Billy’s genre-defying style. Each guitar comes with a custom paper label featuring his pre-printed signature and graphic.
