The Martin 012-28 Modern Deluxe brings together vintage Martin tone and modern refinement in a compact 12-fret 0-size design. Its spruce VTS top and Adirondack spruce bracing deliver a warm, responsive voice with excellent clarity and sustain, while East Indian rosewood back and sides add depth and harmonic richness.
The 12-fret construction shifts the bridge position for a fuller, rounder low end and a more open, relaxed response, making it ideal for fingerstyle and expressive playing. Modern enhancements like a carbon fiber bridge plate, Liquidmetal bridge pins, and EVO gold frets elevate projection, sustain, and playability, while the Vintage Deluxe neck ensures a smooth and comfortable feel.
