| We have just received one of the
very first ' D-41 Special ' models to ship from the Martin workshop in
Nazareth Pennsylvania!!! The old-style snowflake fingerboard
markers, 'tortoiseshell' pickguard, slot-thru (the new drop-in
style) bridge and top aging toner are features that impart a very vintage
vibe to this guitar.
This instrument not only looks like
a well preserved vintage Martin , but SOUNDS like one too.
The scalloped X-brace is advanced to within one inch of the soundhole,
which in effect loosens up the top in the bridge area, delivering
a smooth and powerful overall response. With stunning visuals and
killer response, this one definitely falls into the "have your cake and
eat it too" category!
