The M-28 brings Martin's Grand Auditorium (M/0000) body back to the Standard Series. The M has the wide lower bout of a bigger guitar with the shallower depth of a 000, so you get projection and a full, even low end without the bulk of a dreadnought. Spruce over East Indian rosewood gives it the classic Style 28 voice: crisp, articulate trebles, deep bass and rich overtones, and it's just as happy fingerpicked as it is strummed.
New for 2026, it carries the refreshed Standard Series details: Golden Era scalloped X-bracing (the same pattern used on the Modern Deluxe Series), a Golden Era Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper, and the long 25.4" scale. Bold herringbone, antique white binding and abalone Diamonds and Squares inlays give it the unmistakable Style 28 look. We're Martin-certified repair techs as well as a dealer, so we're happy to answer setup questions before or after you buy.
