Up for sale is a stunning 2008 Martin D-42 acoustic guitar in Excellent condition. Professionally serviced and cleaned for this offering with new premium coated strings installed (D’Addario XS Medium). The D-42 sits proudly at the upper tier of Martin’s Standard Series, featuring gorgeous vertical Grained Ivoroid binding, intricate style-45 snowflake fingerboard inlays, and a premium solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides. Over nearly two decades, this top has opened up beautifully and developed a warm, rich aging toner that looks and sounds incredible.Condition Details:• Body/Top: There are several very light, minor surface clear-coat scratches and impressions only visible under direct light—nothing that breaks the finish, no deep dings, and no structural repairs. • Neck & Frets: The neck is straight and comfortable with optimal action. Frets show almost zero wear and have tons of life left. The ebony fingerboard is smooth and rich.• Hardware/Electronics: All original gold open-gear tuners function smoothly and hold pitch perfectly. This guitar is completely acoustic unmodified (strap buttons added, no pickup installed).• Case: Includes the original Martin hardshell case in great structural condition with working latches and plush interior, showing minimal exterior scuffs from normal storage.Tone & Playability:Deep, thunderous bass response characteristic of a great dreadnought, balanced with the sweet, articulate, and bell-like high end that the 42-series bracing delivers. It handles flatpicking, strumming, and fingerstyle with effortless projection and complex harmonic overtones.
