Martin D-42 Re-imagined

Martin D-42 Re-Imagined – 2018 Model, Rosewood Back and Sides, Spruce Top, Includes Hard Case

Martin’s all-new Re-Imagined Standard Series is easily the most significant update to their flagship lineup in an incredible 185 year history. These traditional acoustic guitars have now been significantly modernised, whilst remaining true to Martin’s rich history and heritage, and you can now purchase them here at PMT.

A Re-Imagined Classic

With the Martin D-42 Re-Imagined you get the latest incarnation of one of the most popular acoustic guitars ever created. Featuring an East Indian Rosewood back and sides, Spruce top, a range of premium-grade appointments, and a deluxe hardshell case to keep it safe, this guitar would make the ultimate crowning jewel in any guitarist’s collection.

Classic Tonewood Combination

Spruce and Rosewood is easily one of the most popular tonewood combination for acoustic guitars, gracing stages, studios and hit records the world over for many decades. The rich, boomy quality of the Rosewood is perfectly complimented by the bright and springy voice of the Spruce, giving you a versatile overall tone that’s at once expressive, articulate, and suitable for flat-pickers, strummers, and finger-pickers alike.

Modern Construction

The Spruce top is enforced by a modern, forward shifted X bracing pattern which helps to make the guitar lighter, yet surprisingly rigid, giving the top plenty of opportunity to move and resonate, positively affecting the overall sound. Add to this the modified low oval neck with bound fingerboard, and you have a guitar that not only sounds incredible, but offers a supremely comfortable playing experience.

Premium Appointments

The Martin D-42 Re-Imagined features a whole host of premium-grade appointments, adding the finishing touches of class to what is already a stunning instrument. These appointments include abalone “Snowflake” fingerboard inlays, antique white body and fingerboard binding, abalone and multi-stripe top-wood inlay, abalong and multi-striped rosette, gold tuning machines, multi-stripe back inlay, and even a hardshell case to keep it safe when not in use.

Spread the Cost

Whilst this guitar may well come at a price that matches its quality, here at PMT we have an array of finance options available to you (including with 0% interest) helping you spread the cost over several months. If you’d like to know more, please contact our online sales team directly!
