The most sought-after and decorated of the Martin dreadnoughts, the flagship D-45 acoustic guitar! It looks, sounds, and plays better than ever for 2018.
Martin's choice of antique appointments — butterbean gold tuning knobs, hand-set abalone inlays, and an aged toner finish — give this guitar lust-worthy prewar visuals.
But modern advancements, including a slimmer-taper neck and bass-enhancing forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, make the latest D-45 a top performer in any hands.
The top-grade Sitka spruce soundboard and East Indian rosewood body, mated by Martin's coveted dovetail neck joint, sound as rich and full as ever. And like any high-end Martin, your D-45 is sure to appreciate in tonal value with every successive strum.
