Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe  

The Modern Deluxe Series

The Modern Deluxe series consists of high-quality guitars with an amazing balance between vintage and modern. For example, the guitars have traditional binding, gold tuners, and a vintage pearl inlay. Furthermore, the top of the body was aged by the Vintage Tone System. As such, the wood has more tonal properties and thus sounds better. The modern aspects of the guitars include a carbon fibre bridge for improved volume and a Vintage Deluxe neck for increased comfort.

The D-28

The D-28 is a Dreadnought guitar. Dreadnoughts are very popular because they’re very versatile and produce a full and rich sound. They are the ideal rhythm guitars, although fingerpicking still sounds amazing on a dreadnought. Furthermore, Martin is the place to go for a dreadnought, considering they invented the guitar and are still one of the best when it comes to the production of these guitars. The D-28 has a spruce top. Spruce has a beautiful resonance and produces a warm sound. The back and sides are made of Indian rosewood. Rosewood has a beautiful dark colour and produces a warm and resonant sound. The guitar has a mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard, which will provide a smooth playing surface.

Martin

Martin is a reputable American company which has been making guitars for almost 200 years. Throughout the years they have become one of the best when it comes to western guitars. This is because quality is their biggest priority. Consequently, Martin guitars are very popular. There are even many famous guitarists who use Martin guitars, like Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, and David Gilmour. Furthermore, their production process is environmentally friendly. Since the ‘90s they have worked together with the FSC to prevent deforestation. They only use wood from trees that have to be cut down to keep the forest healthy. The other parts of the guitar are recycled, as well. By purchasing a Martin guitar you are thus not only investing in quality, but also the environment.
