However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

A true natural beauty. Every grain of wood featured on the HD-28E is showcased with sheer elegance, resulting in a simply stunning instrument that is matched with bright, articulate sound. Flowing through its veins is the wondrous clarity that stems from a solid spruce top. A real showstopper. Spruce allows you to become completely engulfed in a magical playing experience whilst every single note is released with clear definition and incredible dynamics. It delivers a superb, balanced tone that offers the versatility needed for endless creativity. Whether you're strumming with vigour or practicing intricate fingerpicking techniques, the spruce top will ensure crisp articulation is woven tightly into your playing.
Complementing the glorious body top are East Indian rosewood back and sides. Rosewood's sonic characteristics team perfectly with the tone of spruce, balancing out any harsh frequencies and giving you a rich, clear sound. Embellishing your notes with sparkling clarity, rosewood enables you to deliver shimmering, pitch-perfect solos and beautifully textured chords. Creating consistency of sound, a dark and complex resonance forms a gorgeous undercurrent to that sharp yet full-bodied tone. Rosewood is a popular tonewood and Martin have relied upon it for years, and with the HD-28E it's not hard to see why.
Perform with the comfort you need to deliver flawless sound. The select hardwood neck presents a modified low oval shape and a high-performance taper, providing you with the means to be able to fret in pristine fashion. Such an exquisitely shaped neck will sit snugly in your grip, allowing your fingers the ultimate freedom to move with skill and speed. It is also conveniently robust, lending itself to a lifetime of playing without showing signs of wear.
Attached to the neck is a stylish ebony fretboard, a Martin staple on high-end guitars and a demonstration of their premium quality. As well as being visually dark and striking, it boasts a wealth of stunning tonal qualities. It is exceptionally responsive and offers a beautifully bright sound which, combined with its snappy attack, enables you to project fantastic volume without losing a touch of definition. Better still, ebony's naturally high oil content gives it a smooth, fast finish, enough to accommodate any playing style. Let your fingers glide over the frets as if they're floating on air. Every note will feel as silky as it sounds.
Taking the standard acoustic guitar one step further, Martin have employed incredible innovation in the form of Fishman Aura VT Enhance electronics. Through the use of Aura Acoustic Imaging, the guitar's wondrous natural tone is preserved and projected with all its authentic sonic characteristics. Afterall, if you're going to invest in an acoustic guitar rich in tonal resonance and clarity, you don't want to lose that when using the electronics. The electronic system even preserves the natural aesthetic of the guitar too by showcasing a discreet design, alleviating any disruption to the elegant simplicity of the instrument. Instead of cutting control holes into the side, the Volume, Tone, and Enhance Blend are located inside the soundhole. This also means you have incredibly easy access to them. Adjust your sound without impeding your set and sculpt it with wonderful precision. The bridge plate mounted transducer then brings even more resonance to your tone, making for a magical, acoustic experience.
Continuing Martin's tradition of unparalleled excellence, the HD-28E has been expertly handmade with scrupulous attention to detail. The stunning faux tortoise pickguard lies beautifully against light shade of the spruce top, a simple yet attractive detail. Antique white binding then flows like a ribbon around the dreadnought shape, highlighting its stylish silhouette. Martin are pioneers of this classic guitar body type, meaning you can be sure you'll have an instrument that holds prestige.
Please note: Martin do not ship their guitars with the strap button installed on the bottom of the guitar. They do this to avoid any impact cracks that may occur during shipping. You can find your strap button inside the case compartment.
