Martin D28 Authentic 1937 VTS
De meest gewilde vintage D28's zijn exemplaren uit 1937 met forward shifted, hand scalloped X-bracing, een Adirondack sparren bovenblad en 1.75 inch breedte bij de topkam. Het Martin Authentic-assortiment eert deze iconische vintage instrumenten door ze opnieuw te creëren.
Om zo dicht mogelijk bij het geluid van Braziliaans palissander te komen, heeft Martin gekozen voor Guatemalteeks palissander dat erg lijkt op het felbegeerde Braziliaanse palissander. Daarnaast is ook het VTS Vintage Tone-systeem van Martin toegepast op zowel het Adirondack sparren bovenblad en de bracing. Het Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) maakt gebruik van een uniek recept dat is gebaseerd op het historische torrefactie-systeem. Dit VTS systeem gedraagt zich heel erg als een tijdmachine waarmee Martin het klankhout versneld kan laten "verouderen".
Dankzij VTS kan Martin niet alleen de aangename visuele esthetiek van een vintage gitaar, maar ook de speciale vintage klank reproduceren die normaliter alleen voorbehouden is aan "echte" vintage instrumenten. Inclusief luxe Harptone-koffer.
Perhaps the most revered vintage D28s are the ones created in 1937 with forward shifted hand-scalloped X-bracing, Adirondack red spruce top and a 1.75 inch nutwidth. The Martin Authentic range honors these iconic vintage instruments by recreating them as accurately as possible.
In order to get as close as possible to the sound of Brazilian rosewood, Martin has opted for Madagascar rosewood which sounds very similar to the coveted Brazilian rosewood. Martin's VTS Vintage Tone System is also applied to both the Adirondack spruce top and the bracing. The Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era.
This focused method allows Martin’s craftsmen and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduces the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments. Includes luxury Harptone hardshell case.
