Martin D-28 vs Martin HD-28

This week we're going to take a crack at answering one of the most common question's I'm asked: What exactly is the difference between a D-28 an an HD-28?

" Projective enough to be heard over multiple instruments without sacrificing tonal quality or detail, the D-28 has carved out a place in Bluegrass, Country, Folk, Pop and probably a dozen genres that I'm simply forgetting. The D-28 is the guitar that made Martin a household name and without it I don't believe they'd be the same company we know and love today."

Maury's Music Lessons: Anatomy of an Acoustic Guitar

This week we're going to take a step back to basics and discuss the major components of an acoustic guitar. We'll be talking about what the most common parts are, what they do, and how they affect the sound of the instrument as a whole. Although this article may be aimed more at the beginning player, we're hoping there is enough information there that even seasoned players can pick up a thing or two.

Guitars cost less at Maury's - yes, even with 15% off at the competition.

The BIG chain stores often advertise super sales events.  To the uneducated customer, these holiday sales might appear to be very attractive.  Think again.

One of the sales we found is 15% off, with a maximum discount of $500.  Basically, that means any instrument they're selling with a price tag of $3300 or higher, the most you'll save is $500.  Think that sounds good?  They're still far more expensive than Maurys Music's everyday prices.  Here are some examples:

                                        
 Big Box everyday price          15% off SALE at the Big Box store        MaurysMusic.com
        $4900 + tax                             $4400 + tax                               $3886
         $3300 + tax                            $2805 + tax                               $2601
        $2000 + tax                             $1700 + tax                               $1546
        $1000 + tax                             $850 + tax                                 $ 880


If you purchase a new instrument at one of these "BIG" sales, you will pay $100-$400 too much, before tax!  Put that money in your pocket - not theirs.  Check out MaurysMusic.com.

Martin Performing Artist guitars.. Maury's hands on experience

Martin's new Performance Artist series guitars have re-set the bar when it comes to acoustic-electric tone.  I spent some quality one-on-one time with these new models in the sound room at Martin.  Dave Evans and Tim Teel were there to get me up to speed on these terrific new instruments.
