Martin Custom Shop Dread 42 Style Adirondack/Sinker Mahogany w/case 2964104

Martin Custom Shop Dreadnought 42 Style Adirondack / Sinker Mahogany

This Martin Custom Shop Dreadnought 42 Style represents the finest of Martin’s hand-built craftsmanship — a masterfully voiced instrument pairing Adirondack spruce and sinker mahogany for a tone that is at once powerful, clear, and richly resonant. The aged tonewood selection brings out the best of Martin’s legacy dreadnought sound: bold projection, focused fundamentals, and a sweet, singing overtone character that’s perfect for both flatpicking and expressive fingerstyle.

Every detail reflects Martin’s elite craftsmanship, from the Style 45 snowflake inlay pattern and abalone rosette to the sleek GE Modified Low Oval neck profile for effortless playability. Finished in a full-gloss package with an elegant Aging Toner top, this Custom Shop creation merges old-world aesthetic beauty with modern stability and precision. A true heirloom instrument built to inspire for generations.
