The Martin D-42, now available at Haggerty’s Music, combines bold tone with stunning visual details, making it a perfect choice for players who demand both power and beauty from their instrument. With its Dreadnought body size, this guitar delivers a loud, projective sound with strong bass, clear trebles, and rich overtones—ideal for both powerful strumming and intricate picking.

Crafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-42 produces a resonant and balanced voice that suits a wide variety of playing styles. The gloss genuine mahogany neck, featuring the Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4" scale length, offers smooth playability and precision with every note.

Visually, the D-42 is a true masterpiece. Intricate abalone details adorn the guitar, including snowflake inlays on the bridge and a bound ebony fingerboard. The shimmering rosette, pearl trim, and antique white binding further elevate its elegance. Complete with an ebony bridge featuring bone pins and gold open gear tuners, the D-42 is not just a guitar—it's a piece of art designed to inspire.

Discover the Martin D-42 at Haggerty’s Music and unleash the artist within.
