The 000-28 Modern Deluxe features a spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top with East Indian rosewood back and sides with flamed maple binding, delivering the kind of tone and projection that has won over countless players. Additional high-end appointments include a dovetail neck joint and natural protein glue construction that enhance and support the aged tone of this seminal acoustic. An ultra-modern 2-way steel truss rod makes the neck incredibly easy to adjust and is 64% lighter than a traditional truss rod. Take it from Sweetwater: The 000-28 Modern Deluxe will connect you to the sound and feel of the past while firmly rooting you in the present.

Plek’d to perfection





Premium Martin guitars like the 000-28 Modern Deluxe are Plek’d for fret consistency and smooth playability. Plek Pro is a state-of-the-art computer-guided process that scans, levels, and dresses your guitar’s frets to a microscopic level of accuracy for ideal action with no loss of sustain, minimized fret buzz, and no fretting out when bending strings. The 000-28’s Plek’d frets ensure that every note in every position rings loud and clear with unblemished tone.





Quality materials deliver timeless tone





A quality acoustic guitar is all about the wood, and the Martin 000-28 serves up a classic tonewood pairing with no compromises. The top is solid spruce for robust projection and crystalline note clarity. Its back and sides are made of solid East Indian rosewood, a classic Martin material. A select ultra-low-profile neck and solid ebony fingerboard give the Martin 000-28 incredible response and feel. Ebony is also used for the bridge for further tonal enhancement.
