Martin Custom D Punchy Tone

This American-made, Martin Custom D Classic Mahogany Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar is the real deal and a real steal. Made in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, this amazing instrument is crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. Like many of Martin’s famous dreadnought guitars, the Custom D Classic Mahogany Dreadnought has all the punch and volume that players have come to expect from the world-famous Martin Guitar Co. The combination of Sitka spruce and mahogany back and sides generates a tone with expressive highs and mid-range frequencies; plus, a loud, punchy bottom end. Along with a great tone, this guitar has amazing sustain and dynamic response.

Martin Custom D Construction

The Martin Custom D is equipped with a simple dovetail neck joint. This glued, neck-to-body joint allows the neck and body of the guitar to resonate as one instrument. Like many of the world’s finest string instruments, the dovetail does not have any bolts that limit sustain and change the color of the acoustic sound. The tight fit increases the transference of tone and sustain across the entire instrument. Play as soft, or as hard as you want, and this instrument has got you covered. This versatile guitar can handle just about any musical style, from bluegrass to rock, and anything in between. And, best of all, the Custom D is an awesome complement to the human voice. Whether you are on tour, playing a coffeehouse gig, or just jamming with your friends, the Martin Custom D Classic Mahogany Dreadnought will be everything you had hoped for in an acoustic guitar.

NOTE: Martin has changed neckplate label by serial number to say "Special" instead of "Custom".

Martin Custom D Plek Playability

With playability a must for students and working musicians, the Custom D Classic Mahogany Dreadnought features a very comfortable modified low oval neck. Each Custom D Classic Mahogany Dreadnought receives a computerized Plek setup for the most accurate action possible.

Musician's Friend acoustic guitar experts highly recommend the Martin Custom D. You will not be disappointed.
