Martin Review: HD28KM KEB MO Acoustic Guitar

History:

Purchase: I bought this KEB MO from the Guitar Center here in Dallas, Texas for $2850.00 including tax. The price also included the hard shell case.

What I Like About This Martin HD28KM KEB MO Acoustic Guitar: What struck me first about this guitar was it's deep rich tone, probably due to the Koa wood used in it's construction. It's one on only 250 made.

What I Do NOT Like About The Martin HD28KM KEB MO Acoustic Guitar: The Martin D41 fingures a little better than this guitar but does not have the dark sound and deep base that I find so fasination in this guitar. Otherwise, I see no down side to this guitar.

Martin HD28KM KEB MO Acoustic Guitar Quality Rating: The D28KM is a beautiful guitar. From it's gold pegs, raised frets, and inlayed top to it's bone bridge. The top is Maple and the body uses Martins cross-X bracing.

Review Summary: I am very happy with this guitar and think anyone interested in acoustic music will be too. Here is tone quality that can only be found in guitars at twice the price. It's worth a look and a listen at least.

Rating of this Martin product: 4
