DISC Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe VTS, Natural Gloss Overview
The Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe Electro Acoustic VTS is an instrument that boasts a rich heritage and a contemporary attitude. It features traditional Martin appointments like the dovetail neck joint, natural protein glue construction and the solid spruce top with VTS treatment to voice a sophisticated and sweet tone. A tone that's fully aged and matured like the Martins of old, but with a striking modern aesthetic and contemporary additions to suit today's guitarist.
Those include a slightly offset neck shape for maximum fretting comfort and Liquidmetal bridge pins with a composite carbon fibre bridgeplate to boost volume even further. And, of course, if your unplugged volume isn't cutting it, then the cutting-edge integrated Fishman AURA VT preamp system will translate that legendary Martin sound with stunning accuracy and natural character, so you can perform or record without sacrificing an ounce of detail. All of these components combine to create a guitar that's inspired by the past, but is ready for the future. The Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe is truly one-of-a-kind.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionExquisite vintage tones
Play with the classically rich Martin voice. The high-quality spruce top on the D-28 features Martin's Vintage Tone System treatment, an advanced form of acoustic torrefaction. This process grants you the same response and cherished tonality as a Golden Era Martin by changing the cell structure of the wood - effectively mimicking the materials on a historic acoustic!
A lively and three-dimensional voice
Expect sparking detail in every note. Martin's choice of top quality tonewoods combine with the impressive dreadnought shape to give your sound an abundance of depth. East Indian rosewood adds a blossoming mid-range sweetness to your tone, while the Sitka spruce top articulates those glistening highs. Together they make the D-28 comfortable for virtually any playing style, whether that's heavy strumming or delicate fingerpicking.
And with a thunderous and beefy low-end voiced by the impressive dreadnought size and the forward-shifted-X bracing pattern, the D-28 Deluxe serves up a completely rounded and versatile sonic profile.
Play your style
Fretting excellence. This modern approach to a classic Martin takes playability to a new level with its asymmetrical neck shape. Called a High-Performance Taper by Martin, it affords your fingers extra room on the fretboard to ease those difficult chord shapes and let your riffs flow smoothly. Not only that, but you'll navigate the scales with speed thanks to the mahogany neck's extra-sleek satin finish.
Paired with a luxurious ebony fretboard, the D-28 presents a soft and responsive playing feel. It's adorned with attractive, high quality gold frets to provide a quick action and guides your hand with elegant, eye-catching abalone patterned inlays.
A natural amplified voice
Equipped with the astonishingly accurate Fishman Aura VT pickup, the D-28 Modern Deluxe will perform and record with a studio-grade sound. It's specifically tuned for Martin's Modern Deluxe instruments, and provides you with an authentic mic'd up sound whenever you're plugged in! So even if you're going straight into a DI or PA system, you'll still enjoy all the rich dynamics of a guitar that's amplified by a top-quality microphone in a dedicated room.
But that's not all! You can choose this characterful mic'd sound or the lively undersaddle pickup by using the blend control. This powerful tool lets you select either sound - or any mix of them in between - to land on the perfect tone for your performance. Coupled with a powerful EQ sweep that can scoop your mids and focus on the bass and treble, the D-28 can adapt to any live situation without sacrificing an ounce of its natural resonance.
