The Story

Custom Shop D-42 Custom Dreadnought Acoustic

As if the D-42 couldn't be more of a beautiful Martin, they somehow found a way! This is the new and limited edition (only 50 produced) Martin D-42 Custom, built with a Carpathian spruce top, solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, and classy accouterments that include European flame maple binding and a multi-stripe border around the body and headplate. The guitar is strung with Authentic Acoustic strings for a top-notch tone, right out of the case!

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
