-CUSTOM PROMO FACTORY SPECIAL-
The Martin Custom Shop is the pinnacle of modern Martin, where all products are handmade by around 20 skilled craftsmen, only the most skilled of whom are allowed to work in the vast factory.
The "Factory Promotion Order" is a custom shop model that can only be ordered at special prices and with special specifications by participating dealers in the Martin Factory Tour.
This popular project is not to be missed, as it allows you to create a luxurious custom model at a much more affordable price than fully custom-made products ordered one by one, thanks to specially calculated pricing and a method of selecting specifications from a set of pre-defined specifications.
This is an original custom model of Martin's top-of-the-line model, the D-45.
It has been customized with a Golden Era Style look design that is reminiscent of the original D-45 from the 1930s, which creates a majestic atmosphere, and specifications that combine modern playability with a vibrant sound that stands out in a variety of musical scenes.
The top is made of European Swiss spruce, and the back and sides are made of Guatemalan rosewood, which has properties similar to Jacaranda. Both materials are luxuriously selected to be the highest quality, premium grade.
The internal specifications, which greatly affect the sound, are finished with GE-style forward shift scalloped bracing, an extremely thin paint job, and hide glue (Vintage Hide Glue & Thin Finish).
The crystal-clear overtones of the Swiss spruce top, the deep bass of the Guatemalan rosewood, and the silky, lustrous midrange of the 45-string create a beautiful, exceptional sound. The instrument's excellent response to picking, coupled with its carefully designed internal specifications, vibrates instantly when picked, and produces a long sustain that seems to go on forever.
Despite its dreadnought size, the D-45 produces a delicate and ephemeral Martin sound even with pianissimo picking, making it a truly luxurious Custom Shop product.
While it has the GE-style look, the neck profile is a slim performance type, making it easy to play fingerstyle and lead. This is recommended for those who don't like the extra-thick V-shaped neck that is characteristic of the GE style.
The tuners are of course Waverly, so you can enjoy a comfortable torque and precise tuning even in the Butterbean style.
With meticulous attention paid to even the smallest details, this is a top-of-the-line D-45 in terms of sound, playability, and feel.
Despite being packed with extravagant specifications, we are able to offer it at this price, which is the appeal of this promotional project!
Don't miss this opportunity to purchase an exceptional D-45!
