SOLD Martin’s Modern Deluxe range is very interesting. The Authentic range covers those that want a guitar made as close as possible to vintage specification. The Modern Deluxe is for those that like a modern twist, pushing the boundaries while staying true to the Martin tradition. The 00-28 has the familiar 14 fret 00 dimensions, featuring a Sitka Spruce top with Indian Rosewood back and sides. But when you look closely you notice the high quality tone woods that have been used. The herringbone body trim is a classic touch, and the Flame Maple body binding sets the guitar apart. Extra hard gold frets and gold tuners plus Abalone headstock inlay give a really high end look – even the Abalone side dots are a touch of class. The contemporary features continue inside the guitar with a carbon-fiber / wood-sandwich bridge plate, titanium truss rod, and Martin’s Liquid Metal bridge pins. All of this, plus Martin’s VTS system mean the guitar really packs a punch. It has a bigger sound than you’d expect from a traditional 00 size guitar, well balanced, very dynamic and highly detailed. The short scale and contemporary neck profile give extra comfort and great playability. The guitar is in excellent condition, and comes in its original deluxe hard case.
