Description

The D-28 Modern Deluxe elevates Martin’s flagship Dreadnought with heritage tone and contemporary craftsmanship. A spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) top and Golden Era–style Adirondack spruce X-bracing recreate the deep, balanced resonance of a nearly century-old Martin. Natural protein glue and a lightweight carbon-fiber bridge plate enhance sustain and clarity, while exclusive Liquidmetal® bridge pins return energy for added volume. EVO gold frets and a slightly asymmetrical neck provide exceptional comfort, and European flamed-maple binding, Waverly gold open-gear tuners, and a 1933-style pearl logo offer modern sophistication. The iconic Dreadnought body shape delivers thunderous bass, shimmering highs, and full-spectrum power—classic Martin sound refined for today’s player, where craftsmanship, tone, and innovation live in perfect harmony.
