Inspired by Billy Strings' prized 1940 D-28, the Martin D-28 Billy Strings brings a modern twist to a classic pre-war design, incorporating features tailored to Billy's electrifying playing style. This signature Dreadnought showcases a unique 25" scale length, reducing string tension for fast, intricate playing and expressive bends – perfectly suited for Billy's rapid-fire licks. With a custom nut width that's slightly wider than his pre-war Martin and a modified low oval satin neck, it offers enhanced comfort and speed, ideal for players who crave agility up and down the neck. The solid East Indian rosewood back and sides and spruce top deliver a full, resonant tone with rich bass, while the bold herringbone trim, antique toner, and antique white binding add vintage flair. Nickel enclosed-gear tuners, exclusive to Martin, and an ebony fingerboard with abalone diamond and square inlay round out the guitar's looks and performance. It's an ideal balance of traditional craftsmanship and modern playability, much like Billy's genre-defying style. Each guitar features a custom paper label with his pre-printed signature and graphic.
