Martin 012-28 12-Fret Modern Deluxe Acoustic Guitar

Includes Hardshell Case

The Martin 012-28 12-Fret Modern Deluxe is a refined acoustic guitar that perfectly balances vintage styling with state-of-the-art performance features. Its VTS-treated Sitka spruce top emulates the complex, broken-in sound of a decades-old Martin, while East Indian rosewood back and sides provide lush overtones and rich sustain. The 12-fret design enhances the guitar’s warmth and resonance, making it ideal for nuanced fingerstyle playing and articulate chord work.

Modern upgrades like a carbon fiber composite bridge plate and Liquidmetal® bridge pins improve sustain and volume without adding weight. The slim Vintage Deluxe neck profile and short 24.9" scale length ensure smooth, effortless fretting across the ebony fingerboard. Flamed European maple binding and abalone inlays lend the guitar a touch of elegance, making it as visually captivating as it is tonally inspiring.
