Martin Guitars Modern Deluxe Series
Martin Guitars Modern Deluxe Series
Martin’s exquisite Modern Deluxe Series acoustic guitars seamlessly combine old-school sound and aesthetics with forward-thinking materials and contemporary playability. They're the perfect "old meets new" instruments — sharing the same basic recipe of their parent models in the Standard Series, but equipped with custom features that alter their sonic and performative characteristics.
Modern Deluxe Series - Key Features
The following features are shared by all models in the Martin Modern Deluxe Series:
- VTS (Vintage Tone System) Tops — A propriety process that allows Martin to artificially age new guitar tops to adopt the characteristics of wood from a specific time period.
- Adirondack Spruce Bracing — Adds punch and projection, balancing out the warmth and dryness of the VTS tops.
- 'Vintage Deluxe' Necks — This unique asymmetrical profile, combined with Martin’s 'High Performance' Taper, provides incredible playing comfort.
- 2-Way Titanium Truss Rods — 64% lighter than conventional steel truss rods, which noticeably reduces the total weight of these guitars.
- Ebony Fingerboards — A dark and silky-smooth material that adds brightness and snap into the tonal equation.
- Liquid Metal Bridge Pins — Deliver a subtle boost in volume and sustain, while enhancing the overall voice of the instruments.
- Composite Carbon Fibre Bridge Plates — Both lighter and stiffer than a traditional wooden plate; increasing stability and allowing for optimal transfer of sonic energy.
