Description
Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 2005 Martin D-42 Flamed Mahogany #5 of 30 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar finished in Natural with stunning Vine Inlay. This ultra-rare limited edition from C.F. Martin & Company is a true collector’s piece, with only 30 ever produced. Combining premium flamed mahogany back and sides with the ornate D-42 platform, this guitar delivers both exceptional tone and breathtaking visual detail.
The flamed mahogany provides a warm, focused low end with rich mids and clear, singing highs, while the vine-of-harmonics style inlay work adds a level of artistry rarely seen even among high-end Martins. This is a perfect blend of boutique aesthetics and world-class acoustic performance.
This guitar is all original (OG) and comes complete with its Original Hardshell Case (OHSC).
Condition is rated at 9.6/10 – Excellent. The top is super clean with no notable wear. There are very light surface scratches on the back consistent with minimal handling. The case has some stickers present. Overall, an extremely well-preserved and collectible example.
