Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

Dynamite!  This Centennial D-41 is an absolutely glowing example of the model, the maker, and the history behind it all.  Gasp-inducing bass response, final-word-level power and presence, and a tone from bass to treble that's nothing short of Classic.

SP Luthier Notes: Fret Dress & Setup, Cosmetic Work

From Martin and Co.

Inlaid in stunning abalone pearl and appointed with gold tuners, it's more than a Dreadnought: it's an heirloom. Premium East Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce combined with hand-carved scalloped bracing to produce rich, powerful, complex tone. Also available in Sunburst and Ambertone finish.
