Another quality Guitar from Lovies Guitars!
Lovies Guitars is excited to present this Unplayed! 2017 Martin D-42 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar finished in Natural. The D-42 has long stood as one of Martin’s most prestigious and visually stunning dreadnoughts, offering premium tonewoods, elegant abalone appointments, and the legendary sound that has made Martin the benchmark for high-end acoustic guitars. Combining breathtaking aesthetics with world-class craftsmanship, the D-42 is equally at home on stage, in the studio, or as the centerpiece of a serious collection.
This D-42 delivers the rich, expansive voice that discerning players seek—deep and powerful bass response, complex overtones, clear mids, and shimmering highs with remarkable projection and sustain. The dreadnought body provides exceptional headroom for aggressive strumming while retaining the sensitivity and balance required for fingerstyle playing. Every note rings with clarity, warmth, and authority.
The Natural finish beautifully showcases the premium tonewoods, while the iconic abalone trim elevates the instrument’s visual appeal to a truly luxurious level.
This guitar is all original (OG), remains unplayed, and comes complete with its Original Hardshell Case (OHSC).
Condition: 10/10 – Excellent. Unplayed condition. Mint to excellent throughout with no notable signs of wear.
