Google us! Lovies Guitar Shop Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 2021 Martin D-45 Natural Acoustic Dreadnaught Guitar! The most sought-after and decorated of the Martin dreadnaught’s, the flagship D-45, looks, sounds, and plays better than ever for 2018. Martin's choice of antique appointments — butterbean gold tuning knobs, hand-set abalone inlays, and an aged toner finish — give this guitar lustworthy prewar visuals. But modern advancements, including a slimmer-taper neck and bass-enhancing forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, make the latest D-45 a top performer in any hands. The top-grade spruce soundboard and East Indian rosewood body, mated by Martin's coveted dovetail neck joint, sound as rich and full as ever. And like any high-end Martin, your D-45 is sure to appreciate in tonal value with every successive strum. The D-45 represents the most elegantly appointed dreadnaught in Martin's standard collection. You get it all with this guitar: a luxurious sound, gorgeous appointments, and the kind of playability that makes you want to pick it up again and again. It's no coincidence that prewar D-45s are some of the most sought-after guitars in the world — and not just because they're so rare; the D-45 model is simply the pinnacle of Martin's premium brand. While you may first be drawn to the D-45 by its elegant looks, you'll soon find that the heart of this guitar lies in its big, detailed sound. The D-45's back and sides are built from solid East Indian rosewood, which, in combination with the solid spruce top, braced for a huge bottom end, provides an unmatched playing experience. You'll also love the D-45's premium solid black ebony fingerboard and bridge. Martin's Modified Low Oval mahogany neck with High Performance Taper delivers a new level of performance in the latest D-45. Technical players will enjoy greater speed and accuracy, while strummers will enjoy greater comfort as the night rolls along. Martin avoided making their guitars with too much "flashy ornamentation" during the first century or so of their existence, arguing that it would detract from the tone and the dignity of the instruments. But when Gene Autry custom-ordered the biggest, fanciest acoustic Martin could muster in 1933, the company complied. Thus, the first D-45 was born. This beautiful dreadnaught still boasts abalone pearl top, side, and back inlays, and its fingerboard features distinctive hexagonal Style 45 position inlays. This guitar is in excellent shape with a couple light marks, a couple tiny dimples by the pickguard and pickguard marks, rated at 9.5/10. All original with an added strap button and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case, a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net and a complimentary Cooper Standard Fin guitar pick—our favorite for enhanced control and reduced movement!
