Vintage Tone System Top Unlocks Legendary Martin Sound
At the heart of the 012-28 Modern Deluxe is a solid Sitka spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top, a premium tonewood prized for its articulate highs, robust lows and responsive midrange. Combined with Martin's time-tested build techniques like dovetail neck joints and protein glue construction, the VTS top helps this vintage-style guitar achieve Martin's signature warm and balanced tone with rich overtones and a high ceiling for volume.
Cutting-Edge Features Meet Custom Style
While the 012-28 Modern Deluxe pays homage to Martin's golden era of craftsmanship, it also incorporates innovative features for modern playability and sound. Liquidmetal bridge pins with red dots and a composite carbon fiber bridgeplate enhance projection and tuning stability. An asymmetrical neck profile offers a comfortable playing feel up and down the fretboard. Stylish gold frets, open-gear tuners and a 1930s-inspired pearl headstock logo provide eye-catching custom appointments.
Premium Components for Lifelong Performance
From the select tonewoods to the high-performance electronics, the 012-28 Modern Deluxe is built with premium components to deliver years of flawless performance. The dovetail neck joint provides structural stability for consistent tone and playability over time. The durable gloss finish protects the tonewoods from climatic changes while highlighting their natural beauty. Ping tuners, a Tusq nut and compensated saddle are engineered for precise, lasting tuning. Overall, the 012-28 Modern Deluxe is a professional-grade acoustic guitar made to inspire for generations.
