Martin 000-42 Acoustic Guitar Natural

This is the Martin Standard Series 000-42, one of the all time classic Martin dreadnought guitars built of sitka spruce and East Indian rosewood, now with some refreshed features introduced to the Standard Series for 2025!

The Martin 000-42 is a trusted blend of tone and craftsmanship, designed for players who value exceptional sound and stunning visual details. Its Auditorium body size offers a balanced tone across all six strings, with deep bass, rich overtones, and clear trebles that suit any playing style. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the 000-42 produces a resonant, warm voice. The gloss genuine mahogany neck, featuring a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 24.9" scale length, provides effortless playability and precision. It features exquisite abalone details, including snowflake inlays on the bound ebony fingerboard, a shimmering rosette, and pearl trim on the top that elegantly wraps around the fingerboard. Complete with antique white binding, an ebony bridge with bone pins, and gold open gear tuners, the 000-42 is a guitar you can trust to unleash the artist within.

For the first time since 2018, Standard Series guitars are being slightly tweaked with a nice mix of modern and vintage-inspired features including Golden Era top bracing - which is a big improvement in overall volume and projection with nice vintage tones, there's a thinner fretboard much like older Martin guitars with a gently beveled edge for improved comfort. We have a Golden Era modern belly bridge with bone or ebony bridge pins and an improved nut on angle transition from the fretboard to headstock. Cosmetically we're seeing a Long Diamond neck transition and a sleeker vintage-style neck heel! Make this excellent Martin dreadnought yours today at The Music Zoo!
