Martin D-41 Special – Acoustic Guitar
Buy Martin D-41 Special from InstrumentPro.com
The redesigned Martin D41, one of their most stunning instruments, maintains the original's traditional beauty and features while still delivering that famous Martin Sound. Comparable in tone to the D45, the D41 embraces some outstanding features such as hand-inlaid abalone pearl - over 100 pieces, hand-fitted into the top perimeter and rosette, gold-plated tuning machines, and a specially selected, scalloped braced spruce top. Scalloped bracing refers to Martin's technique of hand-carving concave areas or scallops into the lower half of the X-braces and into the 2 asymmetrical tone bar braces. This lighter bracing allows the top to vibrate more freely, yielding a louder, more open tone. Its low profile neck makes playing the D41 a dream. True top-of-the-line design from Martin. Martin launched this much imitated Standard Series line nearly a century ago and set the standard for all modern acoustic guitars—starting with the Dreadnought, a shape that Martin first built in 1916 to provide a bigger, richer guitar sound at a time when there was no amplification, for the accompaniment of singers in larger settings, including auditoriums. These instruments constitute the historic core of the Martin line and represent the majority of sizes and styles that have evolved during this century. The Standard Series models are known for resonant warmth of tone with tastefully restrained styling. For the most part, Martin is credited with inventing these styles and shapes, and guitar makers in general have moved to adopt Martin's size designations as the standard for the industry. Standard features for the Standard Series generally include solid wood top, back, and sides, polished gloss finish, and a hand-fit dovetail neck attachment.
