Martin D-45

The Martin D-45 has always represented the dream of every acoustic guitarist, both for its exceptional craftsmanship and its rarity.

Renowned for its rich and complex sound, the D-45 combines deep basses, bright treble, and astonishing harmonic clarity. It stands out for its extremely refined appearance, highlighted by details such as the extensive use of abalone.

In conclusion, the Martin D-45 is a model that excels in every aspect, both in sound and design.

Specifically, this guitar belongs to the 2025 Standard Series, which has further refined the already exceptional Reimagined Standard Series models to provide even higher performance, both in terms of sound and comfort.

The major innovation is the adoption of the Golden Era bracing, previously reserved exclusively for Custom Shop productions, as well as the Modern Deluxe and Authentic series. This technical choice gives the instruments an even fuller and richer sound, while maintaining the signature definition typical of Martin guitars.

Another improvement concerns the neck, which now features the Golden Era Modified “Low Oval” profile, thinner at the lower frets for a more comfortable grip, but progressively thicker as you move up the fingerboard, thereby enhancing overall ergonomics. The fingerboard is slightly thinner, mirroring the design of the historic Martin Pre-War models, and features rounded edges for greater comfort in handling.

The bridge has also been redesigned and now adopts the Golden Era Modern Belly design, echoing the bridges of Martin's Pre-War production.

Overall, the Martin Standard Series 2025 comes even closer to the traditional construction standards of the brand, offering instruments with an authentic character and improved playability.
