Martin & Co 012-28 Modern Deluxe

The Modern Deluxe series is the culmination of nearly 190 years of experience, history and innovation. The best woods and the best traditional know-how are associated with the latest materials and technologies, such as a titanium reinforcement, "Liquid Metal" pegs, a carbon fiber composite trigger guard and a table and reinforcements processed by the Vintage Tone System (VTS). To make these guitars stand out from the crowd, they feature a 1930s-style inlaid mother-of-pearl logo on the head, gold frets and flame maple bindings. The new, asymmetrical profile of the Vintage Deluxe neck makes this guitar so comfortable that you could play it all day. This guitar takes us back to the early days of Folk guitar history! CF Martin & Co.'s sales listings first describe the 0-28 in 1852. As with its big sister, cosmetic upgrades have been kept to a minimum in the design of the 0-1228-MD, keeping the main emphasis on construction, in order to keep the vintage character of this small format. The openwork head, the pyramid bridge and the Herringbone inlay around the top pay homage to the long history of this shape and the junction of the neck at the 12th fret brings us back to the beginnings of the Delta Blues. The 0-1228-MD is also equipped with a VTS treated table, a carbon fiber bridge reinforcement and benefits from modern know-how and at the cutting edge of technology. If you like the cachet of old-fashioned instruments but want to maintain the playability and reliability of today's instruments, you should give this guitar a try!
