1990 Martin D45

SOLD  The D45 holds a place in history as being the most expensive, highly detailed, beautifully over the top dreadnought in Martin’s range. But is it the best sounding Spruce / Rosewood dreadnought….. well it’s pretty damn close. I sat down to play it before writing this, and lost an hour – it just sucked me in with it’s beguiling tone. Rich, dark, shimmering, resonant, I could run out of superlatives. This 35 year old guitar excels at just about everything; it strums, flat picks and plays fingerstyle on a different level to most guitars. With the age comes a maturity to the tone, a real openness that newer models can’t reach. The guitar is in excellent condition for it’s age, no cracks or repairs, just a little back binding separation at the waist, and the playability is fantastic. There’s an under saddle pickup fitted and the guitar comes in it’s original Martin branded hard case.
