The D-28 Modern Deluxe builds the spruce-and-rosewood dreadnought with newer materials and a dressier set of appointments. The top is European Red Spruce w/ VTS over East Indian rosewood back and sides, braced with GE-scalloped Adirondack spruce with VTS in the Forward-Shifted X-Brace pattern.
The neck is the Vintage Deluxe, an asymmetrical shape, with the High-Performance Taper and a 1 3/4" nut, in select mahogany with an ebony board. Liquidmetal bridge pins with red acrylic dots, a compensated bone saddle and Waverly Gold Open Gear tuners do the hardware work.
The look is European flamed maple binding, endpiece and heelcap against the rosewood, with a bold herringbone top inlay, Zig-Zag Authentic back strip, Diamonds and Squares Long abalone inlays, abalone side dots and a 1933 CFM Script Inlay logo. For the same guitar with a Fishman Aura VT Blend, see the electric D-28 Modern Deluxe; for genuine mahogany, the D-18 Modern Deluxe.
