The 000-28 Modern Deluxe blends vintage Martin tone with advanced features like a VTS top, carbon fiber bridgeplate, and premium appointments. It’s a refined Auditorium model crafted for bold tone, beauty, and innovation. 

The 000-28 Modern Deluxe blends Martin’s heritage craftsmanship with modern precision. A spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM (VTS) top and Golden Era–style Adirondack spruce X-bracing reproduce the resonant, open tone of a nearly century-old Martin. Natural protein glue and a lightweight carbon-fiber bridge plate enhance clarity and sustain, while exclusive Liquidmetal bridge pins return energy for added volume. EVO gold frets and a slightly asymmetrical neck provide smooth playability across the fingerboard. European flamed-maple binding, Waverly gold open-gear tuners, and a 1933-style pearl logo lend refined beauty. The 000 body offers balanced tone with focused mids, crisp highs, and a responsive dynamic range, perfect for both recording and performance. It’s classic Martin tone elevated with modern comfort and sophisticated design.
