{"product_id":"martin-d-1-authentic-1931-discontinued-spec-3085","title":"Martin D-1 Authentic 1931 (discontinued spec)","description":"A stunningly loud, complex, and bold 12 fret Dreadnought, the Martin D-1 Authentic 1931 celebrates the company's first Martin-branded Dreadnought model.  The D-1 was given its Martin label in 1931 after the Ditson Company ended its relationship with Martin and closed its doors.  The D-1 would very soon become the D-18, and the rest, as they say, is history.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nAn amazing guitar, the D-1 Authentic creates its magic by combining a gossamer-light build with lots of air volume, a 12 frets to the body design, and a slotted headstock.  The guitar weighs in a 3.75 lbs, and sounds like it.   There's no metal in the neck to add mass and zing, and the guitar has all the tonal hallmarks of a late 1920's 12 fret 000, but with so much more bass, depth, and expression.  The D-1 captures so well much of what we love about the best vintage guitars, and we are very impressed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nLight forward-positioned scalloped bracing and red spruce VTS top, mahogany back and sides, vintage gloss finish, and hot hide glue construction.  Hand-fit dovetail neck joint, 12 frets to the body, and 25.4” scale neck.  Hand bevelled tortoise celluloid pickguard glued under the finish, black celluloid bindings, and unique single-ring celluloid rosette.  CITES certified Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, bridge, and headstock overlay; bone nut and saddle, brass Waverly style tuning machines. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe guitar features a V carved neck with a rounded hull and medium low depth, slotted headstock, 1-7\/8” nut, and bridge pin spacing of 2-3\/8”.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nWith deluxe Authentic series hardshell case\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003ci\u003eShipping into the USA?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nSending this guitar to a US address is easy to do, and there are no import fees, taxes, or duties to pay when it arrives.
