Description

The Martin Standard Series D-42 is an understated dreadnought that delivers unbelievable strumming tone that oozes heritage. Over 185 years, Martin’s original and most discernible models have largely remained intact and unchanged, demonstrating the winning formula that they established almost two centuries ago.

Martin is internationally acclaimed for their skill in crafting beautiful guitars designed specifically for working musicians. The D42 showcases the remarkable quality that has kept them at the leading edge of the industry for over a hundred years.

Exceptionally crafted, the D42 features a hand-selected rosewood body to give a lovely balanced yet full and throaty tone and all capped off in a gloss finish which gives it an amazing feel.

This guitar sounds massive with a cannon like low end and stunning treble with very throaty articulate highs which are all helped along by the super thin satin nitrocellulose finish.

The guitar is in amazing overall shape and has an LR Baggs Anthem fitted professionally. The guitar has no marks on it other than some super fine ones on the pickguard from playing and the hardware is as new with no tarnishing at all, while the fretboard shows no fret wear.

It has a lovely medium low action so that you can dig in without worry but is low enough to be comfortable for all other playing styles.

Stuff About Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Stuff About Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.
