Description

The D-45 Modern Deluxe represents the pinnacle of Martin craftsmanship—where heritage tone meets modern luxury. A spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) top and Golden Era–style Adirondack spruce X-bracing capture the depth and complexity of a nearly century-old Martin. Natural protein glue and a carbon-fiber bridge plate enhance resonance, while exclusive Liquidmetal® bridge pins reflect energy for remarkable projection. EVO gold frets and a slightly asymmetrical neck ensure effortless feel, and European flamed-maple binding on the body and fingerboard, Waverly gold open-gear tuners, and ornate pearl bordering along the top, back, and sides define its dazzling elegance. The iconic Dreadnought body delivers lush overtones, booming bass, and endless headroom—a modern masterpiece that turns heads, celebrating Martin’s finest tradition and tone.
