Martin D45 Reimagined
De Martin D45 is één van de meest sierlijke instrumenten ooit. Zo heeft dit topmodel uit de Martin Standard Series met de hand ingelegde abalone op het bovenblad, het achterblad, de zijkanten en zelfs langs de hiel.
Deze Style 45 dreadnought maakt gebruik van een klassieke combinatie klankhoutsoorten; geselecteerd Indisch palissander voor de klankkast en een Grade 8 Sitka sparren bovenblad. Het is niet alleen de versiering die hem anders maakt. 'Grade 8' is het allerhoogste mastergrade sparren dat alleen voor de D45 wordt gebruikt. Hij klinkt dan ook ronduit indrukwekkend.
'Sophisticated' is de term die in de USA gebruikt wordt om de D45 te onderscheiden van de D42 en de D41. Beschaafd en overweldigend zou je het kunnen noemen. Met een prachtig hoog, zeer krachtig midden en indrukwekkende bassectie. Zowel de fingerstyle speler als de bluegras speler zal er zich op thuisvoelen. Â
Daarnaast heeft deze dreadnought 'forward shifted', scalloped braces, die de bovenkant meer flexibiliteit geeft, en dus meer basrespons heeft, en een mahonie hals met Modified Low Oval profiel en High Performance taper. De D45 is de favoriete gitaar van legendes zoals Gene Autry en Neil Young en de perfecte gitaar voor de veeleisende muzikant.
The Martin D45 is one of the most graceful instruments ever made. It is the top of the line model in both looks and tone. With 600 pieces hand-inlaid abalone on the top, back, the sides, along the fingerboard extension, on the fingerboard and the peghead.
Using premium selected Indian rosewood for the body and a Grade 8 Sitka spruce for the top. It is not only the decoration that makes her stand out, but even more the tone. 'Grade 8' is the supreme master grade spruce only used for the D45. Therefore the sound is simply downright impressive.
'Sophisticated' is the term used in the USA to distinguish the sound of the D45 from the D42 and D41. You could call it civilized and simply overwhelming. With amazing overtones, a very powerful mid section and impressive bass response. Just a bit above the average. Both the fingerstyle player and the bluegras player will feel at home on this guitar.
In addition, this dreadnought features shifted forward, scalloped braces, which give the top more flexibility, and thus more bass response, and a mahogany neck with Modified Low Oval profile and High Performance tapered. The D45 is the favorite guitar of legends such as Gene Autry and Neil Young and the perfect guitar for the discerning musician.
