Independent shopping perspective
Martin’s D-28E Modern Deluxe is a natural-finish dreadnought built as an acoustic-electric instrument. Its solid Sitka spruce VTS top joins mahogany back and sides through a hand-fitted dovetail neck joint with hot hide glue construction. For amplified work, Fishman’s Aura VT Blend system combines an under-saddle transducer with discrete body sensors; volume, tone, and blend controls let you set the balance. The modified low oval neck and ebony fingerboard carry the guitar’s traditional-meets-modern approach into everyday playing.
