Martin 0012-28 Modern Deluxe - Natural

The Martin 0012-28 Modern Deluxe is a spectacular blend of classic Martin style and cutting-edge craftsmanship. This 12-fret grand concert acoustic guitar is a fingerpicker's dream, offering a remarkably comfortable playing experience with a sound that belies its compact size. The secret lies in the combination of a Sitka spruce top with Martin's innovative Vintage Tone System (VTS), which is a process that "torrefies" the wood to give it the rich, aged sound of a guitar that's been played for decades. Paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar delivers a warm, complex, and resonant tone with incredible sustain and a focused low end.

The neck is a player's delight, featuring the Vintage Deluxe neck profile which is slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard. The combination of a 24.9" scale length and the wider 1 13/16" nut width makes it perfect for intricate fingerstyle patterns and open jazz voicings. The guitar's modern appointments, such as the Liquidmetal bridge pins with red dots and a composite carbon fiber bridge plate, further enhance its projection and sustain, giving you a powerful, lively instrument that is ready for the stage or the studio. This is a guitar that looks and feels like a pre-war classic, but with the rock-solid construction and modern playability that today's musician demands.
