The Martin "D-45" is Martin Guitars' top-of-the-line model, born from a special order by country singer Gene Autry. After 91 units were manufactured between 1933 and 1942, production ceased. It was revived in 1968 by Mike Longworth, who later became a Martin Guitars public relations and researcher. The Martin Style 45 is only produced if the materials meeting the specifications are unavailable. It remains the highest quality series, always boasting unparalleled craftsmanship. This particular instrument was manufactured in 2005. This guitar features a top made of premium Sitka spruce with a slightly amber hue, premium East Indian rosewood sides and back, a mahogany neck, adjustable truss rod, ebony fingerboard and bridge, gold Gotoh Tomatic tuners, a vertical headstock logo, tortoiseshell pickguard, abalone hexagon fingerboard inlays, abalone rosette and trim, scalloped X-bracing, and an L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup. With its luxurious appearance and brilliant, sparkling sound, it's a top-of-the-line model that has been coveted for generations. It boasts rich, deep harmonics, a brilliant and focused tone, and a wide, expansive sound range. This is a sound reserved only for guitars bearing the "45" designation. The color has aged beautifully to an amber hue, and it has matured nicely, resulting in a rich, full sound with depth and breadth. The neck has also been meticulously maintained, giving it a clear, crisp sound with a sense of warmth and depth. Equipped with the "L.R. Baggs Anthem," a pickup renowned for its professional use. It features a piezo pickup that captures a clear sound image, blended with a microphone that captures the body's atmosphere. The microphone mix can be adjusted as needed, making it an excellent system that can vary from a solid piezo sound to a natural, airy sound depending on the situation. There are only a few light surface dents on the lower part of the top, small buckle-like scratches on the back, and light scuffs near the bottom of the sides and on the back of the headstock. Considering its 20 years of age, it shows minimal signs of use and is in beautiful condition. There is a slight paint chip along the fingerboard binding in the lower 6th string position, but the binding itself is not lifting or peeling and does not affect the sound. The neck condition is also very good. There is still plenty of saddle adjustment range remaining, making it a guitar that can continue to be used for many years to come. With a pickup installed, it's perfect for playing hard on stage. The Martin D-45, the pinnacle of Martin's craftsmanship and a symbol of aspiration in every era.
