This process removes moisture, sap, and resin, aging the cellular structure of the wood so that it looks more like a much older piece of wood when viewed under a microscope. Just about every manufacturer has gotten hip to Roasting, Heat Treating, or cooking moisture out of their woods. The scalloped, forward-shifted braces are also made from VTS-treated Adirondack Spruce. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back and sides are made from \u003ca title=\"Learn about rosewood as a tonewood for guitar\" href=\"https:\/\/musicgalleryinc.com\/blogs\/matts-blog\/what-is-rosewood-the-music-gallery-glossary-of-guitar-terms\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eIndian Rosewood\u003c\/a\u003e, which has been the tone and timbre of choice for the 28 series since its inception.

This guitar is packed with custom features and modern technology that you have to see, feel, and hear for yourself. The vintage appointments include a Sitka spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top, a dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction that give it the rich, fully aged Martin tone that has inspired generations. The look is unlike anything in our production line to date with European flamed maple binding, stylish gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and a unique 1930s-style script logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock. Some ultra-modern features include Liquidmetal® bridge pins with red dots and a composite carbon fiber bridgeplate that boosts volume. And we’ve included a new neck shape that is slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard. This guitar is anything but standard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Music Gallery of Highland Park is proud to be an authorized Martin Guitar Dealer.
