D-41 made in 1979

Martin / 1979 D-41

"A guitar with a sound that the D-45 just can't produce."

The D-41 was produced in 1969 as a more affordable version of Martin's king of flat-top guitars, the D-45.
However, it is not just a cheaper version, but is luxuriously decorated and reflects the specifications of the 40 series.

-The hidden tone of the D-41

The top is made of carefully selected Sitka spruce.
In 1974, the wood was changed from German spruce to the above-mentioned wood, but this does not have a bad image at all, and spruce with fine grain is carefully selected.

The back and sides are made of Indian rosewood.
The vertical grain allows you to see the beautiful grain.

The pickguard is made of glossy tortoiseshell.
It looks great against the amber-colored spruce.
The pickguard has also been replaced with a larger one.

The fingerboard is made of ebony and features abalone hexagon inlays that inherit the DNA of the D-45.
Although it's a small detail, it is slightly smaller than the D-45, giving it a stylish and compact impression.

The bridge, made of ebony like the fingerboard, is mounted with short saddles, which ensures that string vibrations are transmitted to the top when the strings are stroked.

The neck is neither too thick nor too thin, and has a comfortable grip that fits comfortably in your hand.

The rosette that decorates the sound hole is made of abalone and shines just as brightly as the D-45.

The purfling on the dreadnought is decorated with abalone, which is more understated than the D-45, but it is recommended for those who like a more subdued atmosphere.

The headstock features binding that has turned cream over time and the vertical CF Martin logo, which is a symbol of the 40 series.
Every time I look at this head I feel a sense of superiority that I own a special guitar.

The tuning machines are equipped with Grover pegs (no engraving).
Since there are additional screw holes on the back of the headstock, it can be inferred that it was probably equipped with Wevery open-back tuning machines.

The included case is missing the Martin logo plate, but you'll be captivated by the beauty of the D-41 the moment you open it.
Come experience the charm of the coveted Martin 40 series for yourself.

[condition]
- Detailed weather checks throughout the piece tell the story so far.
It has been nearly 50 years since it was built, but the no-crack design indicates that it has been well maintained and used.
- There is no buzzing or clogging in the sound and it plays in good condition.
- String height at the 12th fret: 2.4mm on the 6th string, 1.9mm on the 1st string
-Saddle protrusion: approx. 1.0mm
-The neck has been over-lacquered, but the body paint is original as far as I can see.
-One additional screw hole has been added to the tuning machine, suggesting that a Wevery-type tuning machine was previously installed, but it has since been replaced with a 1970s Grover (unmarked) gold tuning machine.
Since the model is from 1979, I feel that they paid particular attention to the choice of pegs from the same era.
-The pickguard has been replaced from black to a large tortoiseshell pattern (painted).
- Martin logo missing from hard case
-The metal fittings on the back of the hard case are sunken.
