Product Description

Martin 000-28 Modern Deluxe – Overview

The Martin 000-28 Modern Deluxe blends the legendary rosewood Auditorium voice with a series of forward-thinking upgrades designed to enhance tone, responsiveness, and playability. Built in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, this premium Martin model pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering rich harmonic overtones, exceptional balance, and the articulate response that has made the 000 body style a favorite among discerning acoustic players.

Part of Martin’s Modern Deluxe Series, this guitar incorporates advanced design features that elevate the traditional 000 platform. A VTS-treated Sitka spruce top recreates the resonance and responsiveness of a naturally aged instrument, while forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing allows the top to vibrate more freely for increased sensitivity, dynamic range, and tonal complexity.

Tone & Performance

The 000-28 Modern Deluxe delivers the balanced voice and expressive dynamics that define Martin’s 000 body size. The torrefied spruce top responds quickly to a light touch while maintaining excellent headroom, producing warm bass, focused midrange clarity, and shimmering trebles with outstanding note separation.

Players will notice remarkable tonal balance across the strings, making this instrument particularly well suited for fingerstyle playing, singer-songwriter accompaniment, and studio recording where articulation and responsiveness are essential. The responsive bracing and lightweight construction allow the guitar to feel lively and dynamic right out of the case.

Construction & Modern Deluxe Features

Martin’s traditional dovetail neck joint and solid wood construction preserve the resonance and tonal depth expected from a handcrafted American-built acoustic guitar. The Modern Deluxe platform introduces several premium upgrades, including a titanium truss rod for reduced neck weight and increased responsiveness, along with a liquidmetal bridge pin system designed to maximize energy transfer from the strings to the soundboard.

The comfortable Vintage Deluxe neck profile with High-Performance Taper and 1 3/4" nut width provides modern playability while maintaining the familiar feel many Martin players prefer. An ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, and premium gold Waverly tuning machines complete the instrument with both performance and visual elegance.
