And here you go. A true work of tone art. A masterpiece. This won't live at this house long.. It will live at yours forever.
This
D-45S Authentic 1936 Aged is based on an extremely rare large body D-45
that was once displayed in the Martin museum. It features Brazilian
rosewood back and sides, a pre-aged Adirondack spruce top, and
period-correct Style 45 appointments, including gold tuners with
hand-engraved butterbean knobs.
A newly constructed aforementioned
masterpiece that looks and sounds like it’s been played for 80 years,
this D-45S Authentic 1936 Aged includes all of the goodness instilled
within Martin’s Authentic Series, like hide glue construction and
hand-scalloped X-bracing. It also boasts the Vintage Tone System (VTS)
that ages the wood to replicate the sound of a highly sought-after
vintage Martin, both in tone and appearance.
