A Bold Voice with Stunning Aesthetic Details
The Martin D-42 is a masterful blend of power and pearl, designed for musicians who demand bold tone and exquisite craftsmanship. With its Dreadnought body size, this guitar produces a loud, projective sound with deep bass, crisp trebles, and rich overtones—perfect for everything from aggressive strumming to delicate fingerpicking.

Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-42 delivers a resonant and balanced voice suited for all playing styles. The gloss genuine mahogany neck, featuring a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile and high-performance taper, ensures smooth playability and precision, while the 25.4” scale length enhances sustain and responsiveness.

This guitar is a visual masterpiece, adorned with intricate abalone inlays, snowflake fretboard markers, a shimmering abalone rosette, and pearl top trim that extends around the fingerboard. Complemented by antique white binding, an ebony bridge with bone pins, and gold open gear tuners, the D-42 is as breathtaking as it is inspiring.

Part of Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025, this model includes Sitka spruce GE top bracing, as seen in the Modern Deluxe Series, for vintage-inspired tone and sustain. A reimagined neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge and heel enhance both comfort and aesthetics. Each D-42 comes with a hardshell case, ensuring its protection for years to come.
