From Martin:

“The D-28E Modern Deluxe is packed with vintage appointments, custom features, and modern technology. A Sitka spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top, dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction deliver the rich, fully-aged Martin tone that has inspired generations. European flamed maple binding, stylish gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and a unique 1930s-style script logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock give it a look to match its sound. Ultra-modern features like Liquidmetal bridge pins with red dots and a composite carbon fiber bridgeplate, boost volume, making this a guitar players dream. Aura HD Imaging technology included in new Fishman Aura VT Blend electronics allows more control over the voice of your guitar than ever before. It offers stunning realism and delivers a new high level of performance for direct recording and live situations. The D-28E Modern Deluxe comes with a ply hardshell case and is strung with Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 light gauge strings.”
