Our good friends at Martin are back with a revamped and reimagined take on their incredible Modern Deluxe Series. Its perfectly combines the classic Martin vintage mojo and sophistication with a modern performance focussed outlook, offering up a completely unique playing experience unlike anything else on the market

The 0-28 offers an incredible playing experience, making it one of the hottest models in the Modern Deluxe Series. Its packed with tonnes of custom features and modern technology. With an incredible Sitka Spruce top you get a really dynamic and vibrant tone. Pair that with the East Indian Rosewood back and sides and you have a tonal dream team, it’s visually and tonally stunning. The top also has the amazing VTS treatment, which allows Martin to make a brand new guitar sound like an 80 year old vintage instrument. The top is heat treated to remove the moisture, which allows it to have the quickest response and the most detailed tone. The body is beautifully decorated with European Flame Maple binding and a Bold Herringbone top inlay.

The neck is an absolute dream to play. With a High Performance Taper and Vintage Deluxe neck shape it offers a comfortable and pleasurable playing experience. The Ebony fingerboard is the perfect partner for this neck, it features a 16 radius, 24.9 scale length and a 1 13/16″ nut width as well as Diamonds and Squares Long pattern inlays.
