Martin D-42 #2591092

A legend! The Martin D-42 is made with the finest craftsmanship and is one of the flagships of the traditional manufacturer. Its body is made from premium quality East Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce. The body is framed by antique white binding and fine abalone inlays. The golden yellow finish of the top and the open golden tuners ensure a subtle vintage look. The abalone inlays in the headstock, fretboard, soundhole and bridge are also characteristic. The sound is voluminous with powerful bass and bell-like trebles, which sound well balanced and have the necessary transparency. Anyone who plays this instrument quickly realizes that the price is reflected not only in the beauty but also in the sound of the Martin D-42!

"With this instrument, the selected premium woods are particularly eye-catching. The top has a very pronounced "mirror", which indicates a perfect cut of the wood. This means that the vibrations are not interrupted and the tone can develop optimally. The East Indian rosewood too is of the best quality, even, straight and has a beautiful brown colour. All details are perfectly executed. A prime example of the extremely high build quality of Martin!" - Daniel Ott, acoustics specialist/luthier
