Martin D 41 1975 Vintage Made in USA Acoustic Guitar

Description

The "D-41" was designed by Martin public relations and researcher Mike Longworth and began production in 1969. The "D-45" was developed in response to the high price tag of the 28 and 45 models, offering a unique and luxurious feel. This instrument is a used 1975 model. Features include a Sitka spruce top, rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge, USA gold Grover pegs, vertical headstock logo, hexagonal fingerboard inlays, solid abalone rosette and trim, large rosewood bridge plate, square neck truss rod, and non-scalloped X-bracing. The pickguard has been replaced with a matching black one. The non-scalloped bracing and SQ rods give this guitar a strong core and a rich tone, giving it a unique character unlike any modern guitar. Its thick, sweet, and single-stranded, sparkling high notes resonate pleasantly. While there's a crack repaired on the fingerboard, the body itself retains its original, crack-free finish. The saddles have been sanded down to their minimum adjustment, but the guitar is currently set at a standard string height. Playability is also excellent. There are some minor scratches and signs of use, such as paint chips around the tuning machine washers, repaired fingerboard binding, and a hole in the neck heel where the strap pin is attached, but there's no major damage and the guitar shows some minor weathering, giving it a very good appearance. Whether you're playing a laid-back tune or a more powerful, folky sound, this is the guitar for you to experience the fine art of a '70s Martin. It comes with an original hard case. Condition: EX+++
