NGD! Martin HD28V
Well i pulled the trigger on a Martin hd28v tonight. Took a ride to Nashville to try out a few just for entertainment, and well, things happen lol. After jawing the salesman down to 2400 out the door for a brand new one still in the shipping box i just couldnt resist! Anyways the v neck feels great and isnt near as sharp as the 18 series are. They seem to have alot more V to them the the 28v. I am suprised at how balanced these are. I was always turned off by the Hd28 because it was so bass heavy. The V is very balanced imo compared to the Hd28. Tone is a bit dark but ill fix that with some 80/20s to put some Zing in it. Oh did i mention sustain??.....it has no end! Its a grand piano for sure. The factory strings do feel like lights though. Martins website says they come with lifespan sp medium. But id be willing to bet there lights. I only play mediums and i can feel the difference. Anyway great guitar guys. Be sure to check them out sometime. Oh my pictures suck but its the best i can do right now

Gorgeous guitar. Played a few Martins this week and really loved the HD28 and HD28-V. Good deal too. Best of luck with it!

Looks great. Perhaps the store changed strings.

Congrats.

Nice! I think my HD28V may be my favorite guitar I own, even over my high dollar McPherson. It just does everything I need it to. Sounds like you got a great price. Did you by any chance check with Ciderville Music in TN? Its around Clinton and they have some awesome prices on new martins. As a Kentuckian, its nice to go down to TN and get the best prices, then let them ship the guitar to you to avoid sales tax.

Very nice.

My favorite new Martins are the VS 12 fret slotheads.

Don't know why, but any medium strings that I put on my HD28V feel like lights on any of my other non-Martin guitars. Makes no sense but I'm not complaining.....

Very nice! I'd still have mine if it was 1 3/4" at the nut.
