Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.
Built with Martin's top-tier tonewoods and refined visual appointments, this D-42 Standard Series dreadnought pairs a solid spruce top with rosewood back and sides for rich, booming lows and crystal-clear high-end response. A smooth mahogany neck is topped with a 20-fret ebony fingerboard featuring intricate abalone inlays that mirror the detailed abalone work on the matching ebony bridge. Abalone purfling along the body edges, an abalone rosette, and gold Martin-branded tuners elevate its overall aesthetic, making it as visually striking as it is tonally impressive. Complete with a deluxe hardshell case, it delivers quintessential dreadnought projection with a touch of high-end luxury.
