The 000‐28 Modern Deluxe is an intriguing mix of classic Martin style and modern innovations. Vintage-style features include a Sitka spruce Vintage Tone System (torrefied) top with herringbone trim, a dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction. The look is unlike anything in Martin's production line to date, with European flamed maple binding, stylish gold frets, gold open‐gear tuners, and a 1930s style script logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock. Modern features include a titanium truss rod, Liquidmetal bridge pins with red dots, and a carbon fiber bridgeplate that boosts volume without adding weight. The new neck shape is designed for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard.
