We’ve got a great selection of Martins in the shop these days, and this 1997 D-45 VR fits in perfectly. Featuring Martin’s stylish 45 series appointments, from the snowflake Abalone fretboard inlay to the Abalone trim across the top, back, and sides, the D-45VR looks as sharp as it sounds, with a big, bold tone characteristic of Martin Dreadnoughts. The Indian Rosewood back and sides give the guitar a well-balanced voice, with lots of presence in the middle registers. Flatpickers will love the setup here, and this Dreadnought offers great sustain. The Sitka Spruce top lends a hand in the articulation department, allowing the strings to sing clearly and distinct from one another with lots of warmth–this Sitka Spruce has opened up nicely in the past 18 years. With almost two decades of tone under its belt, this D-45 VR is a strong contender, and is only going to get better. This guitar comes with a Cedar Creek hardshell case.
A more dynamic Dreadnought than you usually see, this Martin responds really well to a delicate approach, or the traditional Bluegrass attack.
