The "28" Spirit: The Spruce/Rosewood Combination That Made History
Inspired by the great dreadnoughts that shaped folk and bluegrass, the SDR-28M highlights the classic recipe of a spruce soundboard and rosewood body. This architecture, acclaimed for decades, offers power, definition, and harmonic richness, ideal both in the studio and on stage.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Designed for
intermediate to expert guitarists, this dreadnought excels at energetic strumming, flatpicking, and accompaniment. It shines in
folk,
country,
bluegrass, acoustic pop, and singer-songwriter styles, while retaining enough finesse for dynamic fingerstyle playing.
Sound Characteristics
The solid
Sitka spruce provides wide headroom, precise attack, and excellent projection. The solid
Madagascar rosewood delivers deep lows, sparkling highs, and a slightly scooped midrange, generating a rich harmonic bed and long
sustain. The
ebony bridge and fretboard enhance transient clarity, while the
bone nuts optimize articulation and note sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve and optimize the instrument, choose a
rigid Dreadnought case (type "D") in addition to the soft case, a
body humidifier for hygrometric stability, a set of
phosphor bronze steel strings 12-53 (or 13-56 for a heavier set), and an
adjustable pressure capo for steel-string acoustic guitars.
