A perfect blend of ornate craftsmanship and tonal authority, the Martin D-42 offers players a high-end dreadnought with elegant appointments and the unmistakable power of East Indian rosewood. Available now at Haggerty’s Music in Rapid City, SD, this Standard Series flagship features a solid Sitka spruce VTS top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, producing a full-bodied tone with rich bass, scooped mids, and sparkling highs. With forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, the top responds dynamically to fingerstyle and flatpicking alike, while the genuine mahogany neck and modified low oval profile with High Performance Taper offer modern comfort for extended playing sessions. Visually, this guitar is nothing short of stunning—featuring Style 45 snowflake abalone inlays, abalone top and rosette trim, and antique white binding throughout. The gold open-gear tuners, block inlaid headplate, and faux tortoise pickguard complete the refined aesthetic. This D-42 is in excellent used condition, includes its original Martin hardshell case, and has been fully inspected by our team.
