New Martin Standard Series Unveiled
Wow, has anyone checked out Martin's new standard line? They did a great job. I'll be saving for either the new HD28 or the new om28.

The D-18 is no longer "standard series?"
|
Yes, the D18 is still in the standard series. It's under the tab, Standard Series. The standard D28 is in that section too. The 18 was updated in 2012 and the 28 last year. They just redesigned all the others for this year. The new HD28 is almost exactly like the HD28v with the exception of the vintage style saddle and neck profile. It now has forward shifted scalloped braces. The D35 has a shaded top and tortoise pickguard and 1.75 nut.

I've always wondered why the 15 and 16 are excluded. It reminds me of a "mom always liked you best" kind of thing, lol.

- and with that 1.75" neck went my hopes of ever owning a new D-45 again... :mad:

I like the forward shifted scalloped bracing on the HD 28. I prefer the the old style low profile neck shape on my 2004 HD28. The new High Preformance neck shape just never felt right to me and has nothing to do with the 1 3/4inch nut width. I'm probably in the minority on that. I guess if I want a new Standard series I'd have to adjust to it.
