This signature Dreadnought showcases a unique 25\" scale length, reducing string tension for fast, intricate playing and expressive bends – perfectly suited for Billy’s rapid-fire licks. With a custom nut width that’s slightly wider than his pre-war Martin and a modified low oval satin neck, it offers enhanced comfort and speed, ideal for players who crave agility up and down the neck. The solid East Indian rosewood back and sides and spruce top deliver a full, resonant tone with rich bass, while the bold herringbone trim, antique toner, and antique white binding add vintage flair. Nickel enclosed gear tuners, exclusive to Martin, and an ebony fingerboard with abalone diamond and square inlay round out the guitar’s looks and performance. It’s an ideal balance of traditional craftsmanship and modern playability, much like Billy’s genre-defying style. Each guitar features a custom paper label with his pre-printed signature and graphic. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights\u003cbr\u003eD-14 Fret body size\u003cbr\u003eEast Indian Rosewood back and sides\u003cbr\u003eSpruce top with Antique Toner top color\u003cbr\u003eModified Low Oval with Standard Taper neck\u003cbr\u003e1 23\/32'' fingerboard width at nut\u003cbr\u003eHardshell case\u003cbr\u003eStrings: Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 Guitar Strings Phosphor Bronze - Medium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop\u003cbr\u003eTop Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eFinish Top: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eTop Color: Antique Toner\u003cbr\u003eTop Inlay Material: Bold Herringbone\u003cbr\u003eTop Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eBridge Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eBridge Style: Modern Belly - Drop in Saddle\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 2 5\/32\"\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Dots: Black Plastic\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Faux Tortoise\u003cbr\u003ePickguard Inlay: None\u003cbr\u003eRosette: Style 28 Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eSaddle: Compensated Bone\u003cbr\u003eSaddle Radius: 16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eBody Size: D-14 Fret\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Dovetail Neck Joint\u003cbr\u003eBack Material: East Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eSide Material: East Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eBack and Side Finish: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides Color: Natural\u003cbr\u003eBack Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eSide Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eBack Purfling\/Strip: Zig-Zag\u003cbr\u003eBack Inlay Material: Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eSide Inlay Material: None\u003cbr\u003eBracing Pattern: Forward-Shifted X-Brace\u003cbr\u003eBrace Shape: GE-Scalloped\u003cbr\u003eBrace Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBrace Size: 5\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eHeelcap: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece Inlay: Multi-Stripe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: Modified Low Oval\u003cbr\u003eNeck Taper: Standard Taper\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Genuine Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eNeck Color: Dark Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFinish Neck: Satin\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25\"\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets Total: 20\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joins Body At: 14th Fret\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 1\/8''\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at Nut: 1 23\/32''\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Style: Diamond and Square Long\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Material: Abalone\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Binding Material: None\u003cbr\u003eSide Dots: White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeadstock\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock Shape: Solid with Square Taper and Diamond\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Material: East Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Logo Style: Authentic Style CFM Script Overlay\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Binding Material: None\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Nickel Enclosed Gear\u003cbr\u003eKnob: Butterbean\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMisc\u003cbr\u003eCase: Hardshell\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Paper Label w\/Model Name and Pre-Printed Billy Strings Signature\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: None\u003cbr\u003eLeft Handed Availability: true\u003cbr\u003ePleked: true\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45059015049263,"sku":"M3042370","price":3999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/2875\/9855\/files\/DSC_0601_178a501e-7e57-4f23-b60d-d1175c7116f6.jpg?v=1773693174","url":"https:\/\/fullersguitar.com\/products\/martin-d-28-billy-strings-natural-1","provider":"Fuller's Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
