Martin D-28 Billy Strings Signature Acoustic Guitar - 25" Scale | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Martin D-28 Billy Strings Signature brings together traditional Martin craftsmanship with modern performance enhancements tailored for today's progressive acoustic players. This signature Dreadnought features a unique 25" scale length that reduces string tension for lightning-fast runs and expressive bends, perfectly matching Billy's electrifying playing style. Built for both traditionalists and genre-bending musicians, this guitar delivers the iconic Martin tone with enhanced playability for intermediate to professional players.
Product Overview
The D-28 Billy Strings showcases premium construction with a solid East Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a spruce top featuring forward-shifted X-bracing for enhanced projection and clarity. The dovetail neck joint ensures optimal sustain and structural integrity, while the antique toner finish and bold herringbone trim capture the aesthetic of pre-war Martin guitars.
The modified low oval satin neck profile provides exceptional comfort during extended playing sessions, with a slightly wider nut width (1 23/32") that accommodates intricate fingerpicking and aggressive strumming techniques. The ebony fingerboard features elegant abalone diamond and square inlays, complementing the guitar's vintage-inspired appointments.
Special design elements include nickel enclosed gear tuners exclusive to Martin, a custom paper label with Billy Strings' pre-printed signature, and carefully selected materials that honor Martin's heritage while supporting modern playing demands.
