Martin D-41 Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1976), made in Nazareth, PA, serial # 374386, natural lacquer finish, Engleman spruce top, rosewood back \u0026amp; sides, mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard, original molded blue plastic hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a beautiful Martin from the mid-1970s, when the pearl-topped instruments had been fairly recently re-introduced as the company's flagship instruments. The D-41 was the next-to-top of the line, essentially a less ornate version of the Style 45 with the pearl-decorated top rim but without the similar inlay on the back and sides. This very finely preserved guitar from America's Bi-Centennial year features lovely straight-grained woods and Martin's best craftsmanship of the era. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 41 in. (104.1 cm.), 15 3\/4 in. (40 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 7\/8 in. (12.4 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 25 1\/2 in. (648 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis guitar shows only very minor wear-it appears to have hardly been played- and a couple of typical maintenance repaired. The saddle slot has been filled and re-cut; for some reason many Martins from this era have intonation issues due to a misplaced bridge and this is a typical fix. The pickguard is the correct style but newer-the original (which is somewhat shrunken up) is in the case, and there is a small repaired grain crack by the lower top caused by that shrinkage. There is a strap button added to the heel. This is now a great-sounding and playing guitar with a brighter, airier and more upfront tone than many 70's Martin Dreadnoughts. It looks like it has been waiting over 40 years for someone to really play it! Excellent + Condition.","brand":"C. F.
