This 1975 Martin D-45 is a stunning example of one of the most revered acoustic guitars ever built. Entirely all-original and beautifully preserved, this instrument captures the golden era of Martin craftsmanship with impeccable tone, exquisite appointments, and timeless aesthetic appeal.
The D-45 was Martin’s flagship dreadnought—crafted from the finest tonewoods available and adorned with abalone inlay on every edge. With only a limited number made in the mid-1970s, original examples in this condition are exceedingly rare.
This '75 Martin D-45 remains in excellent original condition with the exception of a replacement guard and a re-fret (done to a professional standard). Otherwise a fine example with no cracks, overspray, or repairs. The top has developed a gorgeous aged patina with no signs of lacquer checking. The neck is straight with a comfortable action, and the frets show minimal wear.
