Woods aged to perfection with Martin's VTS
Tone connoisseurs are always in search of the perfect guitar tone, and in the acoustic world one of the most-loved tones is that of a vintage Martin. We're talking guitar that have aged well over 50 years. Martin Guitars recently perfected a unique way of torrefying the top woods and braces of their guitars to achieve the sound of an aged and broken-in Martin. The Vintage Tone System (VTS) lets Martin age the woods to a specific age/time period without the typical change in color of the wood from the torrefaction process. A special Vintage Gloss Finish is the hand applied to give the guitar the coloring of a vintage instrument. Martin's VTS series guitars not only look like vintage guitars, they also have that sought-after sound.
Historically accurate re-creation
Martin started designing the D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS acoustic guitar by taking a 1937 D-28 from their museum to the Smithsonian Institute so they could perform a CAT scan to examine and catalog every detail of this amazing instrument. From the premium tonewoods to the spot-on detailing to the historically accurate bracing and hide-glue construction, the Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS is as perfect as it gets.
Big sound, full bass
The Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS offers the deep bass response that's made Martin dreadnoughts so popular. Yet it also has a high-end presence that sings out even in heavy instrumentation. Martin's D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS is both loud and subtle, and has a quick response. The powerful voice and full sound of the D-28 has made it a staple in the Bluegrass world.
Quality tonewoods used throughout
A quality acoustic guitar is all about the wood, and the Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS delivers no-compromise quality. The top is of solid Adirondack spruce. Similar to high-elevation European alpine spruce, this wood was abundant in the 1930s and used on Martin guitars of that era. Its extraordinary tone, prized for its projection and tonal clarity, contributes significantly to the D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS's sound. It's back and sides are made of solid Madagascar rosewood, a classic Martin material. The Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS back is further reinforced with periodic-authentic Adirondack braces. A solid mahogany neck with solid black ebony fingerboard gives the Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS awesome playing ease to match its awesome sound!
