Every leaf, flower and stem of the Tree of Life is cut from highly colorful dark heart abalone, then painstakingly bordered with a thin band of mother of pearl. The thin pearl bordering creates a shimmering effect that is almost jewel-like in appearance against the black ebony background.

The Tree of Life pattern continues under the nut and onto the headplate where it terminates with the Martin script logo, also inlaid in abalone with pearl bordering.

The D-50 was the first Martin guitar that featured inlay on the instrument’s sides and back. Two pairs of floral designs appear on both sides of the back inlay strip, and on either side of the neck heel and endpiece.

The African ebony bridge and the polished black pickguard are inlaid with matching Tree of Life patterns, also cut from abalone and bordered with pearl. A special endpiece is cut from Brazilian rosewood and inlaid with the leaves from the Tree of Life pattern, then precisely boxed with abalone pearl inlay bordering. The heelcap, also of Brazilian rosewood, is inlaid with a Tree of Life flower and leaf motif.

The D-50 is bound with grained ivoroid throughout and is inlaid with highly colorful dark heart abalone at virtually every possible seam including the rosette, the top and back edges of the side binding, the perimeter of the back, the back inlay strip, the end piece, the neck heel area on the body, the neck heel area of the neck, the side profile of the neck and headstock, and the front edging of the fingerboard and headplate. Specific areas have been further enhanced with special herringbone pearl including the perimeter of the top, the area around the extension of the fingerboard, the inner ring of the rosette, and the center stripe of the back inlay strip.
