New Martin Custom Shop D-42

Natural, Prepare to be wowed (and maybe a little jealous) by this incredible Martin Custom Shop D-42.

This beauty is packing a Premium Adirondack Spruce Top with VTS—which is basically Martin’s secret sauce for making new wood sound like it’s been aged over time. The East Indian rosewood back and sides? Absolutely gorgeous.

Let’s talk deluxe appointments: An ebony fingerboard with antique white binding that says, “I’m classy, but not too flashy”. Gold Waverly open-back tuners for smooth stable tuning. Snowflake inlays because your guitar deserves to sparkle like it’s on the red carpet. Forward-shifted scalloped bracing for enhanced volume and low end. Oh, and don’t forget the style 45 back purfling and strip which just looks great.

This dreadnought isn’t just a looker—it’s a tonal powerhouse, delivering stunning bass response with a high end so articulate it might get invited to give a TED Talk. And that VTS top? It brings all the warm, woody vibes of a vintage classic, but without the fear of someone spilling a drink on your priceless antique.
Wrapped up in all the abalone goodness, this guitar is ready to steal the show—and your heart. Comes with a new hard case.
