This is the penultimate offering of the Martin line, the D-42, made even better by the Modern Deluxe treatment. A gorgeous, incredible sounding D-42ModDeluxe in excellent condition- only minor, hard to find scuffs on the back. Recently professionally setup and includes its OHSC in great condition.

The D-42 Modern Deluxe is a new take on Martin Vintage. This guitar is packed with custom features and modern technology that you have to see, feel, and hear for yourself. The vintage appointments include a spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) top, a dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction giving it the rich, fully aged Martin tone that has inspired generations. The look is unlike anything in our production line with European flamed maple binding (on the body, fingerboard, and headplate), stylish gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and an ornate torch logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock. Some ultra-modern features include Liquidmetal® bridge pins with abalone dots and a composite carbon fiber bridgeplate that boosts volume, and a new neck shape that is slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard. This guitar is anything but standard. It has a great voice, lots of power, and presence that is evident even when played lightly.

N.B.: This is listed locally, on FB Mktplace, and on other forums, so it might sell elsewhere.

Ex-Martin: The D-42 Modern Deluxe blends vintage Martin tone with cutting-edge features like a VTS top, carbon fiber bridgeplate, and an asymmetrical neck—wrapped in stunning appointments that make this guitar a real standout.
