Frequently Asked Questions

VTS accelerates the aging process of the spruce top, resulting in a warmer, more complex tone with reduced stiffness, mimicking decades of playing.
The Modern Deluxe profile offers a slightly slimmer feel than older D-28 models, providing a more accessible and comfortable playing experience for a wider range of hand sizes.
Martin maintains strict quality control across all models, including left-handed versions; the build quality and consistency should be identical to the right-handed counterpart.
