Martin’s Modern Deluxe line is appropriately named—bringing together classic aesthetics and build methods with modern materials and playability. This 2018 D-28 Modern Deluxe has Indian Rosewood for the back and sides, Sitka Spruce on top featuring their VTS (Vintage Tone System) torrefication, bound in Maple and trimmed with herringbone. Under the hood you’ll find a carbon fiber bridge plate, implemented to increase power and projection, plus a forward shifted X brace. Martin’s High Performance Taper neck profile makes for effortless playability (plus a satin neck finish for squeak-free lefthand work); EVO frets assure longevity and set off the gold Waverly open back tuners.
