Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
Making use of Martin's VTS (Vintage Tone System) torrefaction process, this handsomely appointed dread has the sort of broken-in sound and feel you might imagine from an instrument 10 or 20 times its age! And you won't believe how truly delicate and beautiful the appointments are in-hand. Flamed Mahogany binding, a unique and elegant Cocobolo back inlay, and Abalone bindings and rosette really set off the simple beauty of Sitka and East Indian Rosewood!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
From Martin and Co.
A 14 fret, non-cutaway Dreadnought, the CS-D41-15 features a Sitka spruce top with Martin’s new Vintage Tone System (VTS). The East Indian rosewood back and sides beautifully showcase a unique ribbon inlay of cocobolo and flamed mahogany. This enticing inlay design is further enhanced with mother-of-pearl against an ebony background throughout the headplate and fingerboard. Flamed mahogany binding visually completes the CS-D41-15, making this limited edition model one that is both beautiful to the beholder and pleasing to the ear. Limited to a quantity of 115.
