The Martin this D-45 is modeled after needs no introduction: Gene Autry’s 1933 D-45, the very first D-45 ever ordered. True to those specs, this 1994 replica features a chunky, 12-fret neck, slotted headstock with Waverly tuners, and Gene Autry’s signature scrawled in MOP across the fretboard. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides are paired with a tight-grained Sitka Spruce top, with 45-style Abalone trim everywhere. This particular D-45 Gene Autry is number 17 (of 66), and is in remarkable condition, especially considering it’s almost 25 years old! We love the feel of the vintage, chunky neck, and coupled with the 12 fret body join this Martin D-45 is a great choice for fingerpicking, flatpicking, frankly anything.
