Martin 0012-28 Modern Deluxe Overview
The Martin 00-28 Modern Deluxe 12 Fret is a diamond-quality instrument, masterfully crafted by the experts. Its sleek mahogany neck connects to the compact 00 body at the 12th fret and promises a supremely comfortable playing experience. From the real bone nut to the carbon fibre bridge plate, from the multi-stripe rosette to the abalone inlays, every inch of this guitar has been designed and built with sublime attention to detail.
Martin's renowned innovation comes in the form of their Vintage Tone System (VTS), utilised for the spruce top. Thanks to such an intricate and thorough process, VTS delivers a tone that sounds as though it has aged over many years, whilst also ensuring the body has supreme strength and durability. East Indian rosewood back and sides then inject some extra warmth and volume into your sound, enhancing it with gorgeous warmth.

Martin's Vintage Tone System
The 00-28 Modern Deluxe allows you to experience that deliciously classic Martin tone as soon as you start playing. Its spruce top has been carefully crafted with Martin's Vintage Tone System (VTS), producing tones that sound as though they've aged over many years. This model proves that you don’t have to buy a vintage guitar to experience the esteemed, wondrous tone of a classic Martin. The VTS involves a thermochemical treatment which removes any water at a high temperature, leaving the wood extremely dry, superbly stable, and more importantly, with that sublime, vintage sound.
Incredible stability
In order to deliver an exceptional, clear tone and sustain a comfortable playing experience, it is important to have a sturdy and durable structure. The 00-28 provides the utmost stability from the inside. Within the spruce and mahogany body there is scalloped X-bracing which offers robustness and resonance. The scalloped shape of the bracing means parts have been scooped out, allowing the spruce top to vibrate freely, and this results in a more dynamic sound that retains structural reliability. Scalloped bracing is an enticing feature, particularly on Martin guitars as it takes us back to their "Golden Era" when all their steel-string guitars featured this sturdy and resonant brace shape. Such instruments are still held with such high regard now, and so you can trust that the 00-28 has been constructed with history, experience, and an abundance of knowledge behind it.
The benefits of such an innovative brace do not stop there. An X-bracing pattern offers an exceptionally sturdy structure that accommodates high-tension steel strings. Tune up and play without worrying about any potential guitar body tragedies, X-bracing is strong enough to withstand any amount of pressure.
