Martin 00-28 Modern Deluxe

Overview

The Martin 00-28 Modern Deluxe brings together Golden Era-inspired tone and contemporary refinement in a compact Grand Concert body. Its spruce VTS top and Adirondack spruce bracing deliver a responsive, open voice with strong clarity and balance, while the smaller 00 size offers a focused low end and detailed midrange that suits fingerstyle and light strumming.

Modern enhancements like a carbon fiber bridge plate, Liquidmetal bridge pins, and EVO gold frets contribute to increased sustain, projection, and durability. The Vintage Deluxe neck with High-Performance Taper provides a smooth, comfortable playing experience, and refined appointments like European flamed maple binding and a stylized pearl logo complete the design.
