Tadpui, I have owned a 1967 Martin D-28 since 1968 or 1969, and it has been a wonderful guitar, with a full bottom end and the classic Martin top-end presence. I plan on being buried with it.About a year ago I played a Martin HD-28 and it made the hair stand up on my arms and neck. It was perfect for me. Powerful, powerful bass, silky smooth mids, and chiming highs.

A couple of years ago my younger brother bought a brand-new HD-28 and it sounds even marginally better than my old one - simply stunning. And beautiful, too, with the herringbone appointments.
I have always preferred D-28s to D-35s, -41s. and -45s because they are more sensitive to touch and more responsive with light picking. You have to pretty much beat up on the higher-numbered models to get the tone out of them.
To me a good D-28 is acoustic guitar heaven.
