Description
The D-45 is one of the most sought-after dreadnoughts around, as it represents the pinnacle of Martin's craftsmanship. This D-45 is the most ornate of all the instruments in the Standard Series, featuring premium appointments that make it a true showstopper. If you're in the market for a high-end acoustic that leaves all other guitars in the dust, the D-45 is an excellent choice.
The first thing you'll notice when you unbox this Martin is its gorgeous appearance. Sporting hand-inlaid pearl on the top, back, sides, and neck, this instrument exudes style and elegance from bottom to top. It also features antique white binding and an aged toner top that gives it a classy vintage aesthetic.
Looks aren't all there is to this extraordinary guitar, though - thanks to its premium tonewoods, the D-45 has an outstanding voice that sounds great in any performance setting. Its East Indian rosewood body produces full lows and sparkling highs, while its spruce top delivers a crisp, articulate high-end. And thanks to its forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, the soundboard vibrates more freely, giving this acoustic a deep, decadent low-end.
Complete with a Modified Low Oval mahogany neck and a High-Performance taper, the Martin D-45 is perfect for players who want one of the best acoustic guitars currently offered.
