Martin D-45 Authentic 1942 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Brazilian Rosewood / Adirondack Spruce

Replicates the feel, sound, look, and essence of a pre-war Martin D-45.


The Martin D-45 Authentic is made exactly as the
company manufactured the original pre-war D-45 Dreadnoughts. This
reproduction features an ebony non-adjustable neck rod, solid pearl
inlays, premium bookmatched Brazilian rosewood back, sides and
headplate, and Brazilian inlays in the top, rosette, side and back.

Perhaps
one of the most important authentic features of the 1942 D-45 is the
100% hot hide glue construction. Other authentic features include a
beveled faux tortoise pickguard, ivoriod binding on the body, soundhole
rosette, fingerboard, headstock, heel cap and end piece, gold tuners and
a fossilized ivory bridge pins, long saddle and nut, and finished with
the thin nitrocellulose polished lacquer, just like the original.

This historically-accurate design replicates the feel, sound, look, and essence of a pre-war Martin D-45.
