The Martin D-45 stands as a symbol of acoustic excellence, revered by legendary musicians and casual players alike. As part of the newly refreshed 2025 Standard Series, it shares the spotlight with the OM-45, showcasing a stunning level of craftsmanship and intricate design. Adorned with exquisite abalone pearl inlays on the top, sides, and back, the D-45 radiates elegance from every angle. Its traditional Dreadnought shape delivers the signature Martin sound—bold and powerful, with rich bass, bright treble, and harmonious overtones that suit every playing style.

Built with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-45 boasts a deep, resonant voice that carries with impressive clarity. The smooth, glossed genuine mahogany neck features a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4" scale length, ensuring ultimate comfort during play. Additional refined details, including antique white binding, a bound ebony fingerboard with hexagonal inlays, an ebony bridge with bone pins, and gold open gear tuners, elevate the D-45 into a true masterpiece. This guitar is designed to inspire, impress, and empower your musical journey.

The 2025 Standard Series refresh focuses on enhanced tone, improved comfort, and refined style. Featuring Sitka spruce GE top bracing for vintage-like warmth and sustain, the updates also include a reimagined neck profile, a thinner fingerboard, and a reworked bridge and heel for superior playability. Each D-45 comes with a high-quality hardshell case to protect your investment.
