Default Martin HD-28 Famous Players?

So, does anyone know of any famous standard Martin HD-28 players? I only know of Bob Dylan using a few of them during the 90's as his main acoustic during the revival of his career.

And he hasn't used that for some time. He was big into Taylors during and after his fling with Martin. Now he plays Rockbridge almost exclusively. I really liked when he played the Martin. I believe his was an HD-28V.

Default D28 players

Wasn't the guitar that David Crosby converted to 12 string a D28?

Tons of great players used the D-28 ... too many to list.

HD-28 specifically??

I dunno.

I've seen Kelly Joe Phelps playing one. Personally, the HD28 is the classic/standard dread though i am having trouble thinking of another well known musician who plays one.

Yep I have to say too the HD-28 standard is really a flagship guitar. I know also Chet Atkins's Martin was a HD-28 standard.

Bob Dylan had a custom HD-28 made with an Engelmann top, which he used at the big 30th Anniversary concert and pulls out on tour now and again.

Larry Campbell used a standard HD-28 as his main touring acoustic for years as well.

The veteran Swedish star Geir Sundstøl plays one too.

Keller Williams uses an HD-28. He's a pretty amazing player, I just dont like when he does all the loops.
