This Martin D-45 from 1982 captures the heart of Martin’s golden-era craftsmanship, with its hand-selected spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides delivering the powerful resonance and lush overtones that have defined the D-45 for decades. Its abalone binding and rosette add a touch of elegance, reflecting the ornate detailing that made this model the pinnacle of Martin’s production line. Built at a time when every detail was hand-finished, this D-45 has matured into a remarkably balanced instrument, offering both shimmering highs and deep, articulate lows.

Its genuine mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard provide smooth playability and durability, while the low-profile carve and traditional dovetail joint lend the guitar a comfortable, vintage feel. The hexagon abalone inlays and white binding maintain its iconic appearance, and the original Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability. Every aspect of this instrument speaks to Martin’s enduring commitment to craftsmanship and tone.

Though originally built as a pure acoustic, this 1982 model features an aftermarket electronics installation, making it stage-ready without compromising its vintage charm. Housed in a fitted hardshell case, this D-45 is both a collector’s piece and a professional-grade instrument — a beautifully aged example of Martin’s flagship dreadnought that continues to inspire musicians over 40 years later. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
