Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
Fantastic, as we'd all expect! As fortunate as we are to be able to offer (and, of course, play!) the latest and greatest from our esteemed boutique builders, there's nothing like the joy and pleasure you get from playing one of the "old guard" classics. With a voice as dramatic and authoritative as the appointments that announce its presence, you're going to have a hard time keeping this one all to yourself!
*The guitar landed with us a bit dried out but, after a humidification treatment, 5 new frets, and an overall fret dress and setup, she's playing great!
From Martin and Co.
This decked out Dreadnought is the flagship model of the Standard Series. It is the most ornate of all the instruments, featuring hand inlaid pearl on the top, back, sides, and neck. Premium tonewoods and all of the advancements of the reimagined Standard Series such as forward shifted scalloped braces, antique white binding and a high performance neck. The guitar of choice for legends like Gene Autry and Neil Young, it’s the perfect guitar for any discerning collector or musician. Nothing says you’ve arrived like a D-45.
