DESCRIPTION
The D-28 Modern Deluxe is a new take on Martin Vintage. This guitar is packed with custom features and modern technology that you have to see, feel, and hear for yourself. The vintage appointments include a spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) top, a dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction that give it the rich, fully aged Martin tone that has inspired generations. The look is unlike anything in our production line to date with European flamed maple binding, stylish gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and a unique 1930s style script logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock. Some ultra-modern features include Liquidmetal® bridge pins with red dots and a composite carbon fiber bridgeplate that boosts volume. And we've included a new neck shape that is slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard. This guitar is anything but standard.

Condition: Very good condition. Excellent physical condition besides area of shipping damage, which is detailed in tech notes below.

Tech Notes: Originally a new piece, this instrument incurred some light damage to the neck area in shipping. There are some finish cracks on the side of the fretboard where the neck meets the body. The dovetail joint is functioning appropriately, however there is the slightest visual separation of the glue at the dovetail joint compared to a new Martin. Can't fit a feeler gauge (even down to 0.002") at any point along the joint/heel. Neck has been tested and is stable. Neck angle is appropriately set, see photos for details. Plays great and is setup at standard spec, however selling with at price reflective of the above.
