Provenance

Why this one made the wall

The D-28 as it stands after Martin's 2025 refresh of the Standard Series. Solid East Indian rosewood back and sides under a solid spruce top, on the D-14 fret Dreadnought body that has been Martin's reference point for nearly a century.

What changed in 2025 is mostly under the top and in the hand. The Standard Series moved to Golden Era scalloped bracing in Sitka spruce, the same top bracing Martin uses on the Modern Deluxe Series. The neck was reworked too: a Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile with High-Performance Taper, over a thinner ebony fingerboard with a satin finish, along with a redesigned bridge and heel. It is Plek'd at the factory.

The appointments are classic Style 28. Antique white binding, a Style 28 multi-stripe rosette and back strip, mother of pearl dot inlays, bone nut, saddle and bridge pins, and nickel open gear tuners with butterbean knobs. This one weighs 4 lb 8 oz and ships in Martin's molded hardshell case.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

What does the free setup cover?

Every instrument crosses our bench before it ships, and on an online order that setup is free.

What it covers depends on what the guitar needs. Frets, fretboard, hardware, fresh strings, truss rod, action, nut slots, intonation, pickup height and electronics are all part of it, and none of it is an upcharge. The menu above shows the choices you get to make.

Our tech's work is described on Repairs and tuning.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have 48 hours from the moment it arrives to decide. Email shop@lauzonmusic.com inside that window and we will authorize the return. Nothing comes back unauthorized.

Exchange it for something else and there is no restocking fee, though you cover the shipping on the instrument going back. On a straight refund it is 10% plus the actual shipping both ways.

The full terms are on Shipping and returns.

Can I pay for it over time?

Canadian buyers can pay over time with PayPlan by RBC, chosen as the payment method at checkout. The exact terms come from RBC and are shown to you before you agree to anything.
