The Martin D-45 is the flagship model of the Standard Series. It is the most ornate of all the instruments, featuring hand inlaid pearl on the top, back, sides, and neck. Premium tonewoods and all the advancements of the reimagined Standard Series such as a 1 3/4″ nut width, forward shifted scalloped braces, antique white binding and a high performance neck.

With the classic Martin D-45 the traditional American manufacturer from Nazareth, Pennsylvania presents the flagship of its legendary Standard Series. Even today, this richly decorated handmade dreadnought guitar is still considered an absolute must for guitarists all over the world. Equipped with the finest materials, the instrument produces a unique sound that is hard to beat in terms of balance and dynamics. Thanks to flat bracing and a wafer-thin lacquer, it unfolds cleanly and with a quick response in all registers without much effort. A  tapered high performance neck also ensures incomparable playing comfort in all positions.

The Martin D-45 is the best sounding and looking Martin one can get in the standard series. The top of the bill next to the custom shop models, of course. This is the guitar of choice for legends like Gene Autry and Neil Young, Steven Stills and John Mayer. Even Jimi Hendrix owned and played one back in the days. It’s the perfect guitar for any discerning collector or musician. Nothing says you’ve arrived like a D-45.
