About this listen
My favorite acoustic guitar—a 1981 Martin HD-28—just received a full upgrade while also bringing it a little closer to the timeless tone and vintage character of a true 1940s Martin. In this video, I walk you through the complete restoration and customization process, including:
• Fresh frets for smoother playability, improved tone, and better intonation. .085X.050 Fretwire
• Waverly open-back tuners for a vintage-correct look, lighter weight, and improved break angle at the nut
• Removal of the 1990s Fishman Matrix under saddle pickup and installation of the more transparent, passive K&K Pure Mini
• A new bone nut and saddle for increased tonal clarity and responsiveness
• A vintage-style Holter tortoiseshell pickguard to restore the classic herringbone-era aesthetic
