Here's a beautiful, elegant and excellent-sounding Martin Custom Shop D-42. It has some wonderful specs that are very expensive to get nowadays. The Madagascar is very hard to come by at Martin now and not likely to return anytime soon. In addition to the beautiful Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, it has Italian Alpine Spruce top, hot hide glue construction, and forward shifted bracing. All of this adds up to an excellent Martin Custom dreadnought that plays well and sounds huge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is in excellent condition with a few very light indentations as shown. It's very close to mint. This Martin comes complete with the original custom case, paperwork, and even the store tag from when the guitar was purchased back over a decade ago.
