The Martin Company prides itself on the caliber of their woods, inlays, trims and finishes. You don’t need to be an experienced player to sense the unmistakable touch and feel of a Martin Guitar... or to appreciate its responsiveness. In the early 1980s, to satisfy the needs of players, many of whom developed strong interest in acoustic guitars after starting with electrics, Martin began to slim the necks and modify the action to ease playability without sacrificing Martin’s unique responsiveness and clean sound.

Martin HD-28, December 05, 2007
Reviewer: Someone from Somewhere
I've had my 2003 Martin HD-28, the "East Indian Rosewood Herringbone HD-28" to be exact, for about three years and love it. My love affair with Martins began long ago while listening to early Stones records where Brian Jones and Keith both played Martins. It was that warm, smooth tone.
Before I bought this one I was intent on buying a Gibson J-45 but tried others. I kept coming back to the Martin and those Stones songs in my head. Perhaps I was programmed, but nonetheless I am a true believer of the that "x-braced", resonant Martin sound.
If you want bright, bitey sound, get a Taylor; if you want a more of a metallic acoustic sound, get a Gibson. There's a place for those sounds. But for me (and I am sure many others) its got to be a Martin.
