• Custom version of Martin's stunning D-45 with an Authentic Thickness (thin-sanded) Adirondack spruce top, and Golden Era Bracing for enhanced tone and responsiveness.  As with the standard D-45, the braces are scalloped and the X-brace is forward shifted.  Features a 1935 Sunburst top finish and ebony peghead veneer for extra-good looks!

    In honor of our 50th Anniversary, there is a special stamp on the back of the peghead and an inside label signed by C.F. Martin IV and Elderly owners Stan and Lillian Werbin.
