Martin D-42 (discontinued spec)
Martin's D-42 features the company’s highest-grade tone woods, Style 45 pearl top inlays, pearl snowflakes in the bridge, and pre-war style 45 fingerboard and headstock inlays. Antique white bindings to the body and fingerboard, style 45 backstrip, and gold vintage-style tuners. Sitka spruce top with forward shifted scalloped bracing, Indian rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard and bridge. By all accounts, the D-42 is a D-45 from the front, but without the extensive and expensive side and back pearl inlays.
Modified low oval neck with a 1-3/4” nutwidth and performing artist fretboard taper which sets the strings at a comfortable 2-5/32” spread at the saddle. Neck depth at the 1st fret is .828”.
Power, headroom, dynamics, and string balance are all hallmarks of Martin’s D-42. Set-up in-shop with 13s.
With deluxe hardshell case
