The 00-28 Modern Deluxe builds the 00-14 fret rosewood body with Martin's newer materials. The European Red Spruce top and the Adirondack spruce braces are both VTS-treated, the X-bracing is GE-Scalloped, the bridgeplate is carbon fibre, and the bridge pins are Liquidmetal with red acrylic dots.
The Vintage Deluxe neck in select mahogany has a High-Performance Taper and a 1 3/4'' nut on a 24.9" scale, under an ebony board with abalone diamonds and squares in the long pattern. European flamed maple binding, heelcap and endpiece sit against bold herringbone and a zig-zag back strip, the headplate carries a 1933 CFM script logo inlay, and the tuners are Waverly gold open gear. Martin lists the LR Baggs Anthem as its electronics option.
For a 12-fret neck and slotted headstock in the same series, look at the 0012-28 Modern Deluxe. The 00-28 is the Standard Series version with an Aging Toner spruce top and antique white binding, and the 000-28 Modern Deluxe is this build one size up.
