The Martin 012-28 Modern Deluxe 12-fret acoustic guitar is a new take on Martin Vintage, packed with custom features and modern technology for bright, powerful tone. It includes a spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top, dovetail neck joint and natural protein glue construction, giving it the rich, classic Martin sound. The 012-28 Modern Deluxe also has an elegant, eye-catching look with European flamed maple binding, sleek gold frets, gold open-gear tuners and a unique 1930s-style script logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock. Additional features include liquidmetal bridge pins with red dots and a composite carbon fiber bridgeplate that boosts volume, and a new neck shape that is slightly asymmetrical for maximum comfort up and down the fretboard.
