Designed with special features inspired by country and bluegrass master Clarence White.

Martin Special Editions are just that: specially-designed guitars built for specific playing styles or designed with special features inspired by well-known artists, luthiers, dealers and collectors. These instruments are unique and often built with special woods and appointments that do not "fit" our Standard Series or other distinct instrument groupings. This special edition Martin D-28 was designed with special features inspired by country and bluegrass master Clarence White.
