The Martin D-45 is the pinnacle model at Martin Guitars, crafted with the finest materials and techniques in every aspect. Born from a special order by country singer Gene Autry, the Martin D-45 is Martin's top-of-the-line guitar.
After 91 units were manufactured between 1933 and 1942, production ceased. However, in 1968, production was revived by Mylk Worth, who worked as a public relations and researcher for Martin Guitars.
Since then, it has remained active in various musical scenes, inspiring countless memorable performances and admiration. This particular instrument is a used 2011 model.
It features a spruce top, Indian rosewood sides and back, mahogany neck, adjustable neck truss rod, ebony fingerboard and bridge, gold Gotoh Tomatic tuners, vertical headstock logo, abalone hexagon fingerboard inlay, abalone rosette and trim, and scalloped standard X-bracing. The brilliant overtones and intricately interwoven resonance characteristic of the '45 create a tone rarely experienced elsewhere.
The soft yet deep bass and the lustrous, bell-like treble create an ethereal sound that seems to melt into the air, captivating the listener from the very first listen. While there are some signs of use and minor scratches and dents, considering its age, it remains in remarkably good condition.
This coveted '45 is perfect for admiring, or for playing with passion and dedication. Original hard case included.
