Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Martin’s D-28 Modern Deluxe is a right-handed dreadnought that combines a solid spruce VTS top, East Indian rosewood back and sides, and vintage-oriented construction details including a dovetail neck joint and natural protein glue. Modern Deluxe appointments add gold frets, gold open-gear Waverly tuners, Liquidmetal bridge pins, and a carbon-fiber bridgeplate. The neck shape is described as slightly skewed for hand comfort across the fretboard, and a hardshell case is included for transport.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players seeking a dreadnought with a VTS spruce top and East Indian rosewood body woods.
- Transporting the guitar between rehearsals or performances with the included hardshell case.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
