The Neil Young Sound
I dont think your chioce of guitar is as important as what and how you play...a few points to consider.
if you have studied Neils style of country blues....you could reinterperit his songs on any half decent dreadnought....im guessing correct woods will help with tone also maybe...dreadnought shape...rosewood back and sides, spruce top...mahogany neck Neil used a whole range of mainly Martin and Gibson guitars over his career so i dont think any one guitar will be "Jack of all trades" Neil uses diffrent acoustic guitars for diffrent songs. I think either of the guitars you mentioned is heading in the right direction...but if you havn't mastered Neils style of playing and his touch on the strings...the choice of giutar wont make you sound Like neil Young I play some Neil Young stuff quite adequately on a Martin HD35...i think the guitar sound is easier to recreate than the voice

There is a lot more difference than just bling between the guitars. They are distinctly different sounding, due to bracing.

I thought the secret is to get the right set of bridge pins.

The D-28 has standard X braces and the HD-28 scalloped braces, big difference and yes most people can hear it, like 99.9% An HD-28 is hardly considered a "blinged" guitar, Herringbone purfling is hardly bling! If someone was really after the NY tone, then you need to spring for a D-45, and no it isn't just bling, 40 series guitars do sound different (from an owner).

That's for sure! Since this thread continues on, I would like to point out that HD-28's also have small maple bridge plates to go along with scalloped bracing. Jimmy

I gotta agree with others that a 40 series dread is a good choice. Look for a "broken-in" one. My next choice would be the HD-28, probably. Scalloped braces makes a difference. I personally like the fwd shifted X (D-42 and others) and think that helps get some of that nice NY/CSNY Mojo goin. Good Luck!
