Martin’s 0012-28 Modern Deluxe is packed with custom features and modern technology. The vintage appointments on the 12-fret guitar include a Sitka spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top, a dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction giving it a rich, fully aged Martin tone that has inspired generations. The look is unique for Martin’s production line with European flamed maple binding on the body, stylish gold frets and an ornate torch logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock. Modern features include Liquidmetal bridge pins with red dots and a composite carbon fiber bridgeplate that boosts volume, and a new neck shape that is slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard.
