Here we have a rare and very special treat for you: a Martin acoustic guitar, specifically suited for fingerstyle and flatpicking, with the tried and tested vintage look, upgraded with state-of-the-art technology based on a a wide range of customer requests. Combining the Martin guitar sound inspired over generations with the latest modern standards is the best description for Martin's Modern Deluxe series. This 00-28 Modern Deluxe comes with a rosewood body and a Sitka spruce top with the Vintage Tone System (VTS). With this system the solid spruce top is "aged" by temperature and pressure giving it right from the start the tremendous vibration characteristics of a guitar that has been played in for decades. The look is also different from the standard series: European curly maple binding on the body, fingerboard and headstock, stylish gold frets, gold open-gear tuners and on the headstock a classic 1930 Martin lettering in mother-of-pearl inlaid into the headstock. Extremely lightweight and strong Liquidmetal bridge pins (with red dots) and a carbon fiber bridge plate to increase the volume of this handy guitar. Slightly asymmetrical neck shape to ensure maximum playing comfort on the fingerboard and a shortened scale length (63.24cm) reducing string tension and making it easier to grip. The mahogany neck with its Vintage Deluxe High Performance Taper profile fits perfectly in the hand and further enhances the incredibly comfortable feel of this super pleasant guitar. Its sound is surprisingly loud and voluminous considering its size. Rich basses, warm mids and brilliant highs - balanced in all dynamic ranges, both with flatpick and fingerstyle. So we are happy to offer you this beautiful acoustic guitar with phenomenal sound development in mint, practically unplayed condition.
