Martin 1980 D-45

"Style 45 is only ever built to the finest quality available in a given year, no matter the era." This 1980 example is a distillation of exactly that philosophy. The top is Sitka spruce, back and sides are Indian rosewood, and the fingerboard and bridge are jet-black ebony. Even at a glance, it's clear this guitar was built without compromise using the finest materials of its time, well beyond a standard model. 1980 also marks the turning point when Martin's tuner spec shifted from Grover to Schaller - and this guitar still carries its original Martin-logo gold Schaller tuners. (*Pickguard has been replaced.)

The sound is world-class too. The moment you strum a chord, the highs bloom glossy and brilliant. The overtone-rich resonance spreads out endlessly and pleasantly, almost like an acoustic instrument running through a space-based effect, filling the room around you with pure D-45 tone. Despite that expansive presence, the low end never turns muddy, and it never gets harsh on the ear either.
