The Martin D-42 is a trusted blend of power and pearl, designed for players seeking a bold tone and stunning visual detail.

The dreadnought body size delivers a loud, projective sound with strong bass, clear highs, and rich overtones, making it ideal for both powerful strumming and intricate picking. The D-42 is handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, producing a resonant, balanced voice suited to all playing styles.

The gloss genuine mahogany neck, featuring a Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile, a high-performance taper, and a 25.4 inch scale length, ensures smooth playability and precision. The D-42 is adorned with intricate abalone details and features snowflake inlays on the bound ebony fingerboard, a shimmering rosette, and pearl top trim that elegantly frames the instrument.

Martin’s refresh Standard Series enhances tone, comfort, and style. Updates such as a redesigned neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge and heel improve both playability and aesthetics. Comes with a deluxe hardshell case.
