The original Martin D-45 has reached an iconic status amongst the Acoustic Guitar community, cementing itself as arguably one of the most historic Dreadnought models of all time. This Vintage Series D-45v allows modern players an authentic reproduction of the classic pre-war model, constructed with a Sitka Spruce Top and a Solid East Indian back and side wood combination. Standard ''X'' Scalloped, Forward Shifted bracing gives this dreadnought an extra top reinforcement for added projection, whilst a modified V-shaped neck, period fingerboard inlays, old-style long or through saddles, aging toner finish and vintage-style tuning machines are used extensively, and add to the vintage feel.
Martin Vintage Series D-45V Lefty is the flagship of the Vintage Series, this is the most ornate instrument Martin offers in that series as well being arguably the best guitar martin makes, featuring hand inlaid pearl, Style 45 snowflake fretboard inlays and premium tone woods. The D-45V Lefty sounds as good as it looks with a beautiful full tone as well as amazing bass response thanks to the Vintage Belly-Drop In Long Saddle ebony bridge, forward shifted scalloped X bracing, and premium choice tone woods. From looks to sound to playability its clear that this is the ultimate Martin guitar for any guitar collection!
