Martin 0012-28 Modern Deluxe Acoustic Guitar - Natural

A Classic Martin, Revitalized for Modern Players

Comfortable 00 body shape is a favorite among fingerstyle players

If you're a fingerstyle player, then you're going to really love playing the 0012-28. The undersized 00 body has been a longtime favorite for fingerstylists because it offers you both the balance and shape you need to position it to get the best wrist alignment for your right hand, while still comfortably fretting the neck. Of course, you can play this 0012-28 with a pick, which brings out more of its naturally bright fundamental tone. Whether you're playing in front of a crowd or just kicking back on the couch, you're going to feel comfortable playing your Martin 0012-28.

Vintage design, modern enhancements

The luthiers at Martin are happy to embrace modern enhancements if it means better tone for you, the player. In the Martin 0012-28, you’ll find modern advancements such as a steel truss rod and Liquid Metal bridge pins. And the inclusion of a carbon fiber bridge plate boosts volume without adding weight. Even the neck shape has been refined for maximum playability and comfort. Many of us Martin fans at Sweetwater are wary of changes to a winning recipe, but we’ve certainly embraced the sound of the Modern Deluxe's improvements.

VTS top: aged to perfection

Martin has perfected the process of torrefying its top woods and bracings to achieve the sound of an aged, broken-in Martin. The Vintage Tone System (VTS) lets Martin age the woods to a specific age/time period without the typical change in color of the wood from the torrefaction process. A special vintage gloss finish is then hand applied to give the guitar the coloring of a vintage instrument. Martin’s guitars with VTS tops and bracing not only look like vintage guitars, but they also possess that sought-after sound.
