Excellent condition.Some evidence of previous owner's playing: Hardly any sign of fret wear, but does have some impressions in top finish from stray pick marks and has random "button tracks" on back, although not very severe. Strap button installed 3/4" inch away from heel on bass shoulder of guitar, into headblock. End pin hole enlarged professionally for end pin pickup jack.

     Highly figured Koa back and sides. Mahogany neck. Adirondack Red Spruce top. 12-fret neck joint. Slotted headstock with traditional diamond volute. 1 3/4" width at nut. Ebony fingerboard with abalone dot inlays. Ebony pyramid bridge with "cut through" saddle. Herringbone top purfling. Ivoroid binding on top and back of body. Herringbone back strip. Highly figured Koa peghead overlay with elaborate abalone floral inlay. Pre-war style open-back tuners. 25.4" scale length.

     This guitar is set-up well with nice low action. The neck is straight and frets are in fine condition. It sounds really good, with good balance and resonance.

    

     Exc(-) condition. Some wear in fingerboard and frets in first position. One 'outer' pickguard crack excellently repaired. Newer black pickguard (original pickguard in case).
     This is a very good sounding D-18. We'll have more info and description on it soon.

     This guitar is currently in shop awaiting a professional neck reset and new saddle.

Just in... Spruce top. Brazilian rosewood back, sides, fingerboard, bridge and peghead overlay. One side crack on bass side shoulder area. Pickguard crack under B string. Honest player wear throughout on the guitar. Everything appears to be original. Some very light over spray on the back of the guitar. This is a really great sounding D-21... wonderful tone and balance. Please call for full in hand description. 

     Near Mint condition. NO wear, NO dings, no sign of prior ownership. Limited numbers were made between about 2003 and 2007.

     Very nice highly figured Koa back and sides. Select Sitka Spruce top. Choice Mahogany neck. Brazilian Rosewood peghead overlay. Ebony fingerboard and bridge. Bone nut and saddle.

     The appointments of this D-45 seem to be especially beautiful set against the Honey-Brown flamed Koa. Abalone purflings on top edge, soundhole rosette, along sides (top and back), back, endpin wedge, both sides of heel and along fingerboard extension.

     Outside of the abalone purflings, the guitar has grained ivoroid outer bindings throughout entire guitar. Abalone hexagon inlays in fingerboard. Old style "CF Martin" abalone logo inlaid in peghead.

     Now... I think you get the idea by now that this guitar is very beautiful AND in really great original condition. BUT - the best part of all is that this guitar is an especially great sounding guitar, with lots of punch, nice growling attack, balance, etc. This guitar would work great for a Bluegrass flatpicker, a singer/songwriter, a country band front-man, etc.

     In short, this is a wonderful D-45.
