The 000-28 Modern Deluxe is a 000-14 Fret in East Indian rosewood with a European Red Spruce top, and Martin treats both the top and the Adirondack spruce braces with VTS. The X-Brace is GE-Scalloped, and a carbon fibre bridgeplate sits under the bridge.
The neck is select mahogany in the Vintage Deluxe shape with the High-Performance Taper, 1 3/4" at the nut on a 24.9" scale, with an ebony board and Pleked frets. Martin trims it with Bold Herringbone around the top, European flamed maple binding, abalone Diamonds and Squares Long Pattern inlays and a 1933 CFM Script Inlay logo, then fits Liquidmetal bridge pins and Waverly gold open-gear tuners.
This is the acoustic version. The same guitar is also listed with Fishman Aura VT Blend electronics. For this build on a 25.4" scale, look at the OM-28 Modern Deluxe. The 000-28 is the same body and woods without the VTS treatment and the Modern Deluxe appointments, and the 000-18 Modern Deluxe swaps the rosewood for genuine mahogany.
