Description
The 012-28 Modern Deluxe brings Martin’s historic tone to a refined twelve-fret 0-size design. A spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) top and Golden Era–style Adirondack spruce X-bracing emulate the warmth and presence of a nearly century-old Martin. Natural protein glue and a lightweight carbon-fiber bridge plate improve resonance and sustain, while exclusive Liquidmetal® bridge pins add power and projection. EVO gold frets and a slightly asymmetrical neck enhance comfort and control, and European flamed-maple binding, Waverly gold open-gear tuners, and a 1933-style pearl logo highlight its luxurious character. The 12-fret Concert body produces round bass, clear highs, and intimate tonal depth—a timeless voice in a beautifully balanced modern design that honors Martin’s vintage heritage.
