Player's Perspective
Martin's new Standard Series Reimagined 2018 D-42 harkens back to a fabled guitar that has been imitated for nearly a century. The sound is equal parts power and nuance. There's a delicious, potent low-end that you can really feel when you strum a big chord. (This is one of the models that made dreadnoughts famous for their great low-end tone.) But the highs are equally detailed, crisp and subtle, providing a wonderfully balanced and expressive acoustic voice that you have to hear to believe. It's the sound that just about every dreadnought on the market reaches for but never fully captures. The neck shape is comfortable and smooth, and the fretboard ride is effortless whether you're a folk singer who will be hanging out in the first position most of the time, or a country soloist who will lean into some soulful bends.
Manufacturer's Description
With back and sides of premium East Indian rosewood and a Sitka spruce top, this instrument is highly appointed with pearl inlay and enhanced with vintage appointments, such as antique white binding and open gear tuners . Massive bass response balanced with articulate highs and a high performance neck makes the D-42 a beautifully appointed tonal masterpiece that makes playing for hours an easy task.
This is an iconic instrument that's every bit as musical, playable and relevant as ever. Perfect for the Martin aficionado or simply anyone on the hunt for the real deal dreadnought sound.
