C.F. Martin & Co.\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0(Martin Guitar) will introduce their brand-new Modern Deluxe Series at Winter NAMM in Anaheim, California, January 24-27, 2019. The new series combines sophistication and performance to create a truly unique playing experience.<\/p>\n The Modern Deluxe Series is offered in four styles: D-18, D-28, 000-28, and OM-28. Each model is packed with custom features and modern technology that you have to see, feel, and hear for yourself.<\/p>\n \u201cOur goal has always been to make the best guitars and strings possible,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Chris Martin, Chairman and CEO.\u00a0\u201cWe are thrilled with the positive feedback we are getting on these instruments, and we hope you\u2019ll give them a try for yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The vintage appointments offered in the Modern Deluxe Series include a Sitka spruce Vintage Tone System\u00a0(VTS)\u00a0top, VTS Adirondack spruce braces, a dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction. All of these features together produce the rich, fully aged Martin tone that has inspired generations.<\/p>\n The sound isn\u2019t the only thing that will turn heads with the Modern Deluxe in your hands. The 28-style guitars feature East Indian rosewood back and sides with a contrasting flamed maple binding, while the 18-style features genuine mahogany back and sides with contrasting East Indian rosewood binding. All four models feature stylish gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and a gorgeous, pearl inlaid, 1930s style script logo on the headstock.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the ultra-modern features that is new to this series is a two-way titanium truss rod, which makes the neck super easy to adjust, and it is 64% lighter than a traditional truss rod.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The models also feature Liquidmetal\u00ae red dot bridge pins and a carbon fibre bridge plate that increase the volume by several decibels without adding weight.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the most exciting features is a brand-new neck shape that was designed just for the Modern Deluxe Series. The shape has an ultra-low profile, and it is slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard.<\/p>\n With all of these features combined in one series, Modern Deluxe stands apart from everything in Martin\u2019s production line to date. These guitars are anything but standard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nWHAT\u2019S NEW<\/h4>\n
