They have definitely been very responsive, but I have also seen several people say the same. Website stock isn't truly representative of what is actually on hand. Still pending on my order.

That is reassuring. Thanks a ton for your comment, it is greatly appreciated. Definitely let a few comments get in my head haha.

Excellent choice! Definitely let me know what you think of it!

I believe it came with mediums. When I switched the strings out I bought mediums and it felt exactly the same. And I also typically used lights/custom lights in the past. But to your point, the mediums felt right and I have stuck with them. Very excited for you!

Hey Rolo!

I have really enjoyed my D-28 satin and continue to play it several times a week.

It has a very worn-in sound out of the box that most guitars take a long time to get to. I tried several D-28s prior to pulling the trigger, this one sounded the best to me.

I've not felt a need for a pickup, as it has great volume as is.

String wise, nothing too exciting. Martin 2.0 Lifespan treated phosphor bronze. Historically I used Elixir's but did not like them on this Martin.

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

It lives in it's case, I typically leave it in the stand no more than a few hours during the day.

Ah yeah I saw that post - your D-35 is gorgeous! Have you still been enjoying it?

Thank you very much. I was also a huge fan of the tuners. Just looks so classic.

I bet that sounds amazing. The satin neck is really nice definitely. Hope you are able to find a good replacement you like!

Thanks a ton!

It is also satin, that second picture definitely makes it look more like gloss than satin though. I thought that when I took the picture haha.

I did also test an HD-28 and it was a beautiful instrument. You can't go wrong and I really hope you enjoy whatever you end up getting!

Thanks a ton, hope you are enjoying yours as well!

Thanks for the heads up!

Nice, that's good to know! Thank you!

Thank you!

I tested for a few hours over two trips and as much as I see people go back and forth on this subject, I personally couldn't tell a significant difference between the ones I tested gloss vs satin.

I was able to test new and a 2005 D-28 they had for sale used. They all played pretty much identically, and sound wise I had a hard time distinguishing anything substantial. Maybe a more experienced Martin player would say otherwise. But they are both beautiful guitars that are so easy to play and sound great.

Thanks so much!
