Martin D-41 Preowned 2001

The Martin D-41 is one of the most beautifully appointed and tonally distinguished guitars in the Standard Series, a dreadnought that carries the broad, powerful voice of the D-28 lineage together with abalone appointments that lift it into heirloom territory. Introduced in 1969, the D-41 established Martin's approach to genuine luxury detailing on the dreadnought platform without sacrificing the tonal authority the format is known for. This 2001 example carries the pre-Reimagined specification: a solid Sitka spruce top with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, a Low Profile mahogany neck with 1-11/16" nut width, non-scalloped standard X-bracing, enclosed gold tuners and a black pickguard.

Abalone appointments throughout, including the multi-stripe rosette, multi-stripe top edge inlay and hexagon fingerboard inlays, give the D-41 a quietly luxurious presence that sets it apart from the D-28 while staying tasteful. An ebony fingerboard and bridge, white body binding, Style 45 back purfling and a rosewood headplate with raised gold foil logo complete a specification that's as refined visually as it is authoritative acoustically. This 2001-built example is in great condition with light playwear and a beautifully aged top, has had a recent neck reset and refret, and plays wonderfully, with a rich, deep, complex tone and plenty of headroom, ideal for discerning players and Martin collectors after a genuine pre-Reimagined D-41 with the classic dreadnought voice.
