Congratulations Stefan! Good for you. I've played a few D-28s and love them, they're my favorite Martins. But I've never had the priviledge of playing an HD-28.
If my memory serves me right from my recent shopping research, the HD-28 has the scalloped bracing like they used to have before WWII, and gives it a big booming bassy sound, as if the top of a regular D-28 has opened up. I've read reviews from a minority of D-28 owners (probably jealous) who say that the HD-28 was too bassy and that they prefer the D-28. Whatever. I've never tried a HD-28 so I won't comment, but I will say that you got it at an amazing price, and the finish damage looks very minor if not easily repaired.
Well done Stefan, I'm turning green with envy! You've got the holy grail of acoustics now. As if I wasn't already jealous of your D-16...
