Martin D-42 Modern Deluxe Acoustic Guitar - Natural Reviews
Martin's D-42 Modern Deluxe is a refreshing take on the classic dreadnought body style, blending old-world style with modern refinements. Its spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top has been torrefied for maximum projection and harmonic excitement. The dovetail neck joint reinforces the classic Martin tone. And with its European flamed maple binding, gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and unique 1930s-style logo on the headstock, the D-42 Modern Deluxe looks unlike anything else from Martin’s production line. Complete with other modern advancements and a Vintage Deluxe neck shape designed for maximum comfort, there’s a lot to love about the Martin D-42 Modern Deluxe acoustic guitar.

D-42 MD
it is the best Guitar I ever bought. highly Recommend any of the Martin D-Models. Both my Martin's together L- D-41/ R-D-42-MD. I recommend Sweetwater, shipping is fast instrument comes safely. I regret not buying the D-45 Martin I played in 1975.
Just a phenomenal guitar
Had a chance to demo the D-42 Modern Deluxe at NAMM in Anaheim, CA and I was just blown away by how beautiful this guitar looks, sounds, and plays up close. The neck was the key for me giving me the ability to smoothly and effortlessly move up and down the fretboard so I could easily transition from playing rhythm chords and move straight into flat picking 16th note arpeggios. And this guitar reflects the nuances that you live for when finger picking which immediately inspired creativity. I just didn't want to put it down. And while you could say that for so many Martin styles, the D-42 Modern Deluxe stood out of the crowd as one of the finest I've ever had a chance to play.
