When a good guitar calls, you answer. This 2016 B&H D-42 is such a guitar. Excellent projection and sustain, paired with great balance across the strings, makes for an extra articulate dreadnought. Sensitive enough for fingerstyle play, and with heaps of headroom for flatpicking. We’d expect no less! Alpine Spruce over Brazilian Rosewood with a shade top finish, 42-style Abalone appointments throughout, and gold Waverly tuners as the cherries on top. Build weight is 4.5lbs, and the neck has a full feel in hand with well-rounded V profile. This beauty was built in 2016!
Here's a demo from the last time we had this beauty in the shop: https://youtu.be/L_J5ta-9FRg.

Another powerhouse from our friends in Germany. This one has a lot of the energy of a great pre-war Martin guitar and has been built to perfection. 
Smooth and powerful in equal measure. Blazer & Henkes know how to nail the prewar sound, and they manage to do it with flawless fit and finish and top shelf tonewoods. This D-42 is a showstopper on all the levels. - Accessories
