{"product_id":"2008-martin-d-42-dreadnought-acoustic-guitar-w-case","title":"1995 Martin D-42 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar w\/ Case","description":"Up for sale, a 1995 Martin D-42 in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Featuring a Sitka spruce top with forward-shifted, scalloped X-bracing paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-42 can trace its upscale dreadnought lineage back to Martin's Pre-War D-45.  And while Martin’s style 42 has been around since the late 1800s, it wasn’t applied to a standard production dreadnought until 1996, making the D-42 a relatively recent addition to Martin's lineup. Premium aesthetic details include abalone top binding and rosette, snowflake fingerboard inlay, and a vertically inlaid Martin name on the headstock. Benefiting from the maintenance due an instrument of this vintage, this Martin features a professional neck reset and new tall, carved bone saddle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Martin offers an extremely rich and detailed sound with ample projection and bass-register warmth. The low end has the boom and kick consistent with a Martin square shoulder dreadnought, and the trebles are punchy and round with a sparkling cut, notably immediate and bell-like. This Martin is emblematic of both the company’s top tier craftsmanship and the way a soundboard can relax and open up with enough time in very satisfying ways. This D-42 weighs 4lbs 8oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e-Shape: Medium C, measuring .830” 1st fret, .890” 9th fret\u003cbr\u003e-Fretboard: Ebony, grained ivoroid binding, snowflake inlays\u003cbr\u003e-Frets: Slender, faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-3\u003cbr\u003e-Scale Length: 25.4”\u003cbr\u003e-Nut: 1 11\/16”\u003cbr\u003e-Tuners: Butterbean buttons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Sitka spruce, East Indian rosewood\u003cbr\u003e-Bracing: X (forward-shifted, scalloped)\u003cbr\u003e-Bridge: Ebony, snowflake inlay, compensated bone saddle (modern)\u003cbr\u003e-Plastics: Tortoise pickguard\u003cbr\u003e-Marquetry: Grained ivoroid binding, abalone purfling\u003cbr\u003e-Serialization: Stamp on heel block dates to 1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe top features Martin’s Aging Toner; crack-free and well-kept, cosmetic wear on this D-42 is limited to some dings on top, with sparingly little wear on the back and sides.
