An uncommon model only produced from 1997-2005, the D-40 acted as a middle ground between the relative simplicity of the D-28 and the ornate cosmetic appointments of the D-45, featuring abalone hexagonal inlays on the ebony fingerboard and an abalone rosette. This particular D-40 benefits from a recent professional neck reset and a tall carved and compensated bone saddle.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis Martin has been extremely well-kept over the last quarter century, and the instrument has an open, articulate tone befitting a guitar that's had time to open up and resonate beyond what one often expects in a \"new\" instrument. Featuring solid East Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top, this D-40 has classic Martin dreadnought projection, percussive cut, and bold, full character with a balanced response across all strings, attributable to the body shape and scalloped, rear-shifted X-braced construction. Weighing 4lbs 13oz, this D-40 has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Low Profile (medium depth C), measuring .830” 1st fret, .875” 9th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Ebony, abalone hexagonal inlays\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Slender, pristine\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 25.4”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 11\/16”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Headstock: Rosewood veneer, vertical abalone inlay\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Schaller, Martin-branded (gold-plated)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Stamp on neck heel block dates to 2000\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Sitka spruce, East Indian rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\n-Bracing: X (scalloped, rear-shifted)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Ebony bridge, compensated bone saddle (modern), abalone dot inlay on pins\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Tortoise pickguard\u003cbr\u003e\n-Marquetry: Multi-ply binding, abalone rosette\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA very clean example, cosmetic wear on the gloss nitro lacquer finish is limited to just a few faint finish scratches on the body.
