Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe
Overview
The Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe builds on the legacy of Martin’s flagship dreadnought with a blend of traditional tone and modern innovation. A spruce top treated with Martin’s VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM (VTS) works alongside Golden Era–style Adirondack spruce bracing to deliver the open, balanced response associated with vintage Martins. The classic dreadnought body shape provides powerful bass, clear mids, and shimmering highs with exceptional headroom for both aggressive strumming and nuanced picking.
Modern Deluxe construction details are designed to enhance resonance and playability. Natural protein glue and a lightweight carbon-fiber bridge plate help increase sustain and clarity, while Liquidmetal bridge pins improve energy transfer for added projection. A Vintage Deluxe neck with High-Performance Taper offers a comfortable, responsive feel across the fingerboard, complemented by EVO gold frets for durability and smooth playability. European flamed maple binding, gold open-gear tuners, and a stylized pearl headstock logo add refined visual detail.
