Overview

A handcrafted acoustic with premium tonewoods for exceptional sound and playability.

The Martin Custom Shop 42 Style Sinker Redwood-Guatemalan Rosewood Dreadnought acoustic guitar produces a full, balanced tone perfect for any genre. Its premium redwood top and rosewood back and sides give this handcrafted guitar a lush, resonant sound with articulate highs, warm mids and rich lows. The slim mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard provide a smooth feel for intricate fingerpicking or strumming full chords.

Resonant Redwood Top

The top is made of sinker redwood salvaged from logs that were submerged in river water for decades. This wood is highly resonant, giving the 42 Style dreadnought a robust, projecting tone. The redwood top is matched with Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, a prized tonewood that delivers warmth, depth and sustain. Together, these premium woods create an acoustic voice that flatters your playing with richness and nuance.

Premium Craftsmanship

As part of the Custom Shop, this 42 Style dreadnought is handcrafted using traditional techniques and the finest materials. The dovetail neck joint, scalloped X-bracing and bone nut and saddle are hallmarks of quality. Paua pearl dots and abalone rosette inlays showcase masterful craftsmanship. The guitar receives a hand-rubbed gloss finish that protects the wood while allowing it to vibrate freely. This level of care results in an instrument that plays, sounds and looks exquisite.

Modern Playability

While the 42 Style dreadnought embraces acoustic guitar tradition, it also provides modern playability. The modified low oval neck profile gives you a comfortable grip for complex chords and single-note runs. The ebony fingerboard and 25.4" scale length ensure a smooth playing experience. And the compensated bone saddle provides accurate intonation for the guitar's full tonal range. Overall, the 42 Style dreadnought delivers a blend of vintage vibe and contemporary performance that today's acoustic guitarist will appreciate.
