AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe brings vintage soul and cutting-edge innovation together in a truly exceptional dreadnought. Built with a Sitka spruce top treated with Martin’s Vintage Tone System (VTS) and scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing, this guitar 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. Natural protein glue construction and a dovetail neck joint contribute to the guitar’s stunning resonance and sustain.
Modern upgrades elevate the D-28 Modern Deluxe to a new level of performance. A titanium truss rod, Liquidmetal® bridge pins, and carbon fiber bridge plate reduce weight and boost volume. The newly designed Vintage Deluxe neck profile with High Performance Taper offers exceptional comfort and playability. Gold EVO frets, European flamed maple binding, and an abalone-inlaid 1930s script logo add refined, custom-shop-level appointments. This is a guitar that looks as stunning as it sounds—and it’s ready for stage, studio, or heirloom collection.
