This Modern Deluxe acoustic guitar is full of classic details, custom features, and modern technology. Its Sitka spruce top with Vintage Tone System (VTS) treatment and high-temperature processing, combined with a "Dovetail" neck joint and construction using natural protein glue, deliver that rich, aged Martin tone that has inspired generations of musicians.
First, the classic elements: European flame maple binding, elegant gold-finish frets, open-gear gold tuning machines, and an exclusive inlaid logo styled after the 1930s, crafted from Mother-of-Pearl.
Then, the modern touches: titanium tension bar, Liquidmetal bridge pins with decorative red dot, and a carbon fiber reinforced back and sides, which increase volume without adding weight — the dream setup for guitarists.
