Martin D-45 Modern Deluxe #97991 (NAMM 2023)

Martin D-45 Modern Deluxe, Ebony Fingerboard, Natural

Empire Music is proud to offer this Martin instrument that was displayed at the 2023 NAMM Show. This instrument was hand selected by Greg Holland specifically for the NAMM event. Greg is a 30 year veteran of Martin Guitars and is the final inspector at the factory. These NAMM models are the finest examples of their model. They include the full factory warranty and original paperwork, cases etc. These models were played as demonstrator models at the Martin NAMM booth and may/will have light playwear, pick marks etc. We will show any significant wear in photos and describe anything significant in the listing. Otherwise, we are not able to provide photos/descriptions of any light wear/marks. This is a great opportunity to get special pricing on a hand-selected Martin Guitar! Each guitar will be given a full professional setup to factory spec by our in-house technicians.

The D-45 Modern Deluxe is a new take on Martin Vintage. This guitar is packed with custom features and modern technology that you have to see, feel, and hear for yourself. The vintage appointments include a spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) top, a dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction, giving it the rich, fully aged Martin tone that has inspired generations. The look is unlike anything in our production line with European flamed maple binding (on the body, fingerboard, and headplate), stylish gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and an ornate torch logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock. Some ultra-modern features include Liquidmetal® bridge pins with abalone dots and a composite carbon fiber bridgeplate that boosts volume, and a new neck shape that is slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard. This guitar is anything but standard.

Note: After close inspection, this instrument has some light pickguard scratches. (See Pics)
