The Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe brings vintage soul and modern innovation together in a genuinely exceptional dreadnought. Built with a Sitka spruce top treated with Martin's Vintage Tone System (VTS) and scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing, it delivers a powerful, aged tone that rivals the best pre-war Martins. The East Indian rosewood back and sides offer rich lows and shimmering highs, while the forward-shifted bracing enhances responsiveness and projection, and natural protein glue construction with a dovetail neck joint contributes to the guitar's stunning resonance and sustain.

Modern upgrades lift the D-28 Modern Deluxe to a new level of performance. A titanium truss rod, Liquidmetal bridge pins and a carbon fibre bridge plate reduce weight and boost volume, while the newly designed Vintage Deluxe neck profile with High Performance Taper offers exceptional comfort. Gold EVO frets, European flamed maple binding and an abalone-inlaid 1930s script logo add refined, custom-shop-level appointments, making this guitar ideal for players who want heirloom quality that's genuinely stage-ready.
