Part of Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025, with enhanced tone, comfort, and style. The Martin D-42 combines bold tone with elegant visual details, making it a standout choice for players who seek bold tone and stunning visual details.

Its Dreadnought body size delivers a loud, projective sound with strong bass, clear trebles, and rich overtones, perfect for both powerful strumming and intricate picking. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-42 produces a resonant, balanced voice suited for all playing styles.

The gloss genuine mahogany neck features a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4" scale length for smooth playability. Stunning abalone details include snowflake inlays on the bridge and bound ebony fingerboard, a shimmering rosette, and pearl top trim that wraps elegantly around the fingerboard.

Additional features include antique white binding, an ebony bridge with bone pins, and gold open gear tuners. Comes with a hard shell case.
