Martin - Grand J-28E DN Double-Neck
For the first time in over a century, Martin is thrilled to offer a one-of-a-kind double-neck instrument – the Grand J-28E DN. As a member of the popular Standard Series lineup, this all-new guitar combines Martin’s renowned quality and craftsmanship with modern innovation, featuring an acoustic-electric with a twelve and six-string neck, giving you the versatility to explore new sounds, tunings, and musical textures all on one guitar. Its powerful gloss Grand Jumbo body delivers a bold, resonant tone, with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides and a solid spruce top that ensures balance and clarity across all playing styles. This double-neck guitar took years to perfect, and thanks to cutting-edge technology at our Nazareth factory, the Grand J-28E DN, featuring two compound dovetail neck joints and unique X bracing, is now available to the public. Both necks feature a smooth satin finish and ebony fingerboard, with the six-string neck offering a slightly slimmer profile at the nut. It also includes built-in custom Fishman® electronics, making it ready for the stage and studio. With classic 28-style appointments and endless sonic possibilities, this guitar is a dream for players seeking an extraordinary instrument that’s anything but standard.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Nearly 200 years of acoustic guitar building expertise in every instrument. The signature Martin tonal balance that sits perfectly in any musical context. Construction methods proven and perfected across generations of professionals. Solid wood tops that mature and improve in tone over years of playing.
Light gauge strings (.012s or lighter) let Martin's legendary scalloped bracing do exactly what it was designed for. Play this guitar every day and the top opens up beautifully - a Martin at one year genuinely sounds better than the day you bought it.
Martin has defined acoustic guitar since 1833 - nearly 200 years of wisdom in every joint. The signature voice is immediately recognizable on Nashville recordings, folk stages, and living room couches worldwide. Built for generations, these guitars genuinely sound better with age as solid wood matures. Owning a Martin isn't buying a guitar; it's beginning a musical relationship that deepens year after year.
