Martin’s 00-28 Modern Deluxe is a refreshing take on the classic “double-O” body style, blending old-world style with modern refinements. Its spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top has been torrefied for maximum projection and harmonic excitement. The dovetail neck joint reinforces the classic Martin tone. And with its European flamed maple binding, gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and unique 1930s-style logo on the headstock, the 00-28 Modern Deluxe looks unlike anything else from Martin’s production line. Complete with other modern advancements and a Vintage Deluxe neck shape designed for maximum comfort, there’s a lot to love about the Martin 00-28 Modern Deluxe acoustic guitar.
Comfortable 00 body shape is a favorite among fingerstyle players
If you’re a fingerstyle player, then you’re going to really love playing the 00-28. The undersized 00 body has been a longtime favorite for fingerstylists because it offers you both the balance and shape you need to position it to get the best wrist alignment for your right hand while still comfortably fretting the neck. Of course, you can play this 00-28 with a pick, which brings out more of its naturally bright fundamental tone. Whether you’re playing in front of a crowd or just kicking back on the couch, you’re going to feel comfortable playing your Martin 00-28.
Vintage design, modern enhancements
The luthiers at Martin are happy to embrace modern enhancements if it means better tone for you, the player. In the Martin 00-28, you’ll find modern advancements such as a steel truss rod and Liquid Metal bridge pins. And the inclusion of a carbon fiber bridge plate boosts volume without adding weight. Even the neck shape has been refined for maximum playability and comfort. Many of us Martin fans at City Music are wary of changes to a winning recipe, but we’ve certainly embraced the sound of the Modern Deluxe’s improvements.
VTS top: aged to perfection
Martin has perfected the process of torrefying its top woods and bracings to achieve the sound of an aged, broken-in Martin. The Vintage Tone System (VTS) lets Martin age the woods to a specific age/time period without the typical change in color of the wood from the torrefaction process. A special vintage gloss finish is then hand applied to give the guitar the coloring of a vintage instrument. Martin’s guitars with VTS tops and bracing not only look like vintage guitars, but they also possess that sought-after sound.
