Johnny Cash used it for songwriting, it was Jimmy Page's go-to acoustic, and Neil Young's used to belong to Hank Williams: For a limited time, you can still score $200 off the legendary Martin D-28 in the Cyber Monday sales

Celebrity endorsements don't come much bigger: Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Nancy Wilson, Neil Young, Brad Paisley, and Noel Gallagher – the Martin D-28 was so prevalent in the history of recorded music that when you think of a great acoustic sound, you're probably conjuring up the D-28.

A classic Dreadnought with an ebony fingerboard and a mahogany neck, a solid spruce top, and East Indian Rosewood back and sides, it is smooth and boomy, great for rockers and fingerstylists

Well, what else are Cyber Monday sales for if not to invite you to get something special at a slightly lower price? The D-28 is on sale now at Guitar Center for $200 off the asking price. The Guitar Center sale ends on the 3rd of December, so you don't have long to get in on the action.

Johnny Cash nicknamed his Martin D-28 "Bon Aqua" after his farm in Bon Aqua, Tennessee. That's where the guitar stayed, as home to him as the farm itself. Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page upgraded his Harmony Sovereign to a D-28 after Led Zeppelin IV – it became his main acoustic.

Neil Young bought a D-28 that once belonged to Hank Williams and wrote a song about it, This Old Guitar. "This old guitar ain’t mine to keep/I’m just taking care of it now," it goes. These are guitars to be cherished and passed on.

Here's Daryl Robertson, the Senior Deals Writer for Guitar Player and Guitar World, demonstrating a D-28 standard earlier this year.
