The HD-28KM Keb’ Mo’ Limited Edition Signature model combines impressive solid tonewoods and appointments. The top is beautiful, straight-grained Engelmann spruce, prized for rich, full tone and responsiveness. The back and sides are flamed Hawaiian Koa, a beautiful wood with exceptionally clear, balanced sound. Scalloped top braces, forward-shifted, enhance the instrument’s vintage character and dynamic range. An Ebony fingerboard and bridge, with bone nut and saddle are a sign of the guitar’s quality. The finishing appointments add class and a nod to Martin’s rich history. The vintage toner-tinted top, herring-bone purfling and tortoise-colored pickguard, captures the look of a classic Martin Dreadnought from the 1930s. Ivoroid binding, black and white line purfling and a zig zag center strip on the back are similarly vintage-inspired. The soundhole rosette features highly colored abalone pearl flanked by traditional Style 45 black and white line inlays. The Ebony headstock overlay provides a striking contrast to Martin’s traditional gold decal, a contrast matched by its gold Schaller tuners with large ebony buttons. The fingerboard is inlaid with “long pattern” diamonds and squares abalone pearl position markers, with Keb’ Mo’s signature appearing between 19th and 20th frets. The guitar has an interior label personally signed by Keb’ Mo’ and Martin Chairman and CEO, C. F. Martin IV, and comes in a Geib style deluxe vintage hardshell case. The guitar is in exceptional condition, and plays like a dream.
