Comments:
This 2008 Martin D-42 is a high-end, visually striking dreadnought acoustic guitar known for its powerful and balanced tone, featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides. Its construction and materials are designed to provide a rich, clear sound with substantial bass response. The D-42 was first introduced as a standard production model in 1988 and was designed to be a slightly less elaborate version of the flagship D-45, offering "power and pearl" at a slightly more accessible price point while still featuring significant abalone inlay work.
