------------------------------
The Martin "D-45" is the top-of-the-line Martin guitar, born from a special order by country singer Gene Autry. The Martin Style 45 is never produced if the materials meeting the specifications cannot be supplied. It's a top-of-the-line series that consistently boasts unparalleled quality. This particular instrument is a very rare custom model, the "D-45 Custom Tree of Life Shade Top," featuring a shade top and luxurious inlays on the fretboard and pickguard. It's a used 1986 model. It features a spruce top, neatly grained Indian rosewood sides and back, a mahogany neck, ebony fretboard and bridge, Schaller gold tuners, a vertical headstock logo, Tree of Life fretboard inlay, tortoiseshell pickguard with abalone trim, a maple bridge plate, adjustable neck rod, scalloped X-bracing, and a shade top finish. Its strikingly beautiful appearance is truly eye-catching. Just like its opulent and magnificent appearance, this guitar boasts a brilliant and elegant tone with rich harmonics, and a soft, enveloping resonance that feels airy and expansive. The low frequencies possess the weight and strength characteristic of rosewood, the high frequencies have the sparkle unique to the D-45, and the mid-range has a powerful, forward-projecting drive. The sound has excellent separation and a smooth attack, making it enjoyable to play even with a light fingerpicking touch. While there are some superficial dents and minor scratches, and a small paint chip on the back of the neck, there are no cracks in the wood, and it remains in beautiful condition despite being over 30 years old. The neck and body are in excellent playing condition. A masterpiece with a rare and beautiful look, and a sound too good to simply display. For those seeking a "D-45" that stands out from the crowd. Includes a recently manufactured Martin original hard case.
