Martin 000-28 Modern Deluxe Adirondack – Overview

The Martin 000-28 Modern Deluxe Adirondack blends the comfort and balanced voice of a classic auditorium-body rosewood Martin with a premium Adirondack spruce top and the advanced design features of the Modern Deluxe platform. Built in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, this model pairs a solid Adirondack spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering a warm, complex voice with exceptional overtones, extreme headroom, and rich acoustic depth.

Part of Martin’s Modern Deluxe Series, this Custom Shop guitar incorporates forward-thinking design elements that elevate the traditional 000 platform. The Adirondack spruce top provides a massive increase in dynamic range and projection, while scalloped X-bracing allows the soundboard to vibrate freely for maximized response and unparalleled tonal punch.

Tone & Performance

The 000-28 Modern Deluxe Adirondack is celebrated for its highly versatile voice, incredible clarity, and ergonomic comfort. The auditorium body size yields focused midranges and brilliant note separation, while the premium East Indian rosewood back and sides inject deep bass undertones and a lush, three-dimensional acoustic aura.

The addition of the premium Adirondack top expands the instrument's power and headroom far beyond a standard auditorium guitar, keeping notes crisp and clear even under heavy flatpicking. This creates a highly adaptive canvas that handles delicate fingerstyle patterns, recording sessions, and heavy strumming with total articulation.

Construction & Modern Deluxe Features

Martin’s traditional dovetail neck joint and solid wood construction preserve the structural integrity and deep resonance expected from a high-end, American-built acoustic guitar. The Modern Deluxe platform elevates this blueprint with cutting-edge engineering, introducing a titanium truss rod to reduce neck weight and an ultra-lightweight **composite carbon fiber bridgeplate** to elevate volume and sustain.

The asymmetric Vintage Deluxe neck profile with High-Performance Taper combines with a 1 3/4" nut width to accommodate natural hand curvature and reduce fatigue across the fretboard. Visually stunning and tone-focused, the guitar is trimmed in **European flamed maple binding**, **bold herringbone top purfling**, gold frets, and golden open-gear Waverly tuners. The build is completed by a **Liquidmetal bridge pin system** with red acrylic dots and a gorgeous 1930s-style pearl script headstock logo.
