  • Most signature model guitars are thoughtful creations meant to commemorate an artist’s music and their instrument; often with subtle touches unique to that instrument. The Martin D-28 Rich Robinson is not that! It is a soulful recreation! A piece of art as much as an Instrument, faithfully recreating Rich Robinson’s 1954 D-28 inherited from his father. The attention to detail Is stunning and the guitar is a joy to play.

    You were not kidding about the tone. I can only imagine what it sounds like in person. Thanks for sharing!

    I bought one. A truely amazing sounding and playing guitar! The thing that Chris calls “blunted” is what I would describe as hearing your guitar through a really high-end compressor with stellar mikes. It gives back so much more. This was not at all what I was going for, but it blew my other choices away. The balance is great, not so bass-heavy as rosewood dreads can be, much better balanced across the range.

    Great guitar and great demo! Kudos to Martin for the tasteful aging, more subdued than the relic jobs of some other big brands.

    Sorry but I'm not one of those people that like a brand new guitar to be beat up looking, just to look old. I want it to look new and I will put age on it myself without, hopefully, dinging the guitar up.
    I get Martin's reimagined series.

      Yes, his guitars are beat up a bit. These guitars aren't his though and he didn't use them and put all the dings and blemishes in them himself. Like I said, if I'm going to purchase a guitar, a new guitar, I don't want it beat up looking. It's just my preference.

    I like your description, always so hard to describe sound. I like to say a great guitar goes PONG - it rings but with a softer attack (Not a thin 'ping', or deadened sound like a short full "png" that goes out.

    Personally I'd like to see Martin offer this "aged" toner on the Modern series. I've been back and fourth on a HD28 and The Modren Deluxe D28..but if I could get that beautiful aged top I'd pick up a Modren Deluxe

    I bought one and returned it. Great sound, however, I couldn’t play a first position E chord without muting the first string. Maybe the one I tried had too much Custom Shop wear. Insane how close the high E string was to the end of the fretboard.

    recently i had the chance to play one of these - long story short, i was disappointed, it looked not good and the sound was so lala...
    maybe it was just that single one ( it was in germany, rumours are for ages that the crap is shipped to europe, while the good remain in the us, i tend to believe it...),
    but for the price it is a joke...

      Ah, pedantic heaven.. It is, both ways are okay. Southerners tend to say ...latchen, and northerners ... laychun or layshun, but I have heard people from both regions say the "other." Like so many things, it depends largely on how and where are you grew up. I grew up right on or darn close to the Mason-Dixon line but technically in the south (going by the historical Civil War reference) - Northern Virginia, and ...latchen was never used or I don't remember hearing - but mostly ...layshun. I lived a couple middle grade school years in San Antonio and mostly what I heard was ...layshun. Ditto the next 55 years out west, maybe 60/40 if not more. The actual cultural region "Appalachia" I think I've heard most commonly ...latcha. but even that region technically extends up north through Pennsylvania to New York just as the mountains do...Though, in my experience most think of the (cultural) region as more southern. One may be "more right" than the other in many people's eyes. Tomāto tomahto.

    Martin needs to stick with the pre-war light build style with modern specs i.e. 1 and 3/4 neck, tuners, liquid metal bridge pins, truss rod etc. No one wants an 11/16ths fat neck, no truss rod etc. Then if their prices go down !

      Not everyone likes that. Everyone has their own sounds they like. You want the best of both worlds? Get a 000-28 Custom Authentic 1937, or D28 custom authentic 1937. Authentic with a truss rod and they're absolutely unbelievable. My 000-28 is one of the best guitars I've ever heard and I was nevrr a short scale guy. Also happens to have one of the best necks I've ever played

      Not when I myself and I know others who don't like the scalloped bracing...prefer the non herringbone style and the rear shifted bracing means it's a Strummer.
      We don't all like the ones that just 1 other person likes. And trust me I've owned 37 authentics 28..18. The way my ears work...my eyes works and hands work this is what I'd want as a custom shop martin.
