This Custom Shop is a prize example of tradition crossing paths with innovation. The Super D is an oversized dreadnought capable of moving more air and turning more heads than most dreadnoughts. Guatemalan Rosewood paired under a Spruce top with Vintage Tone System recreate an advanced version of the classic Martin sound. A booming bass and strong low mids make this an ideal bluegrass guitar. Although loud, it does not suffer dynamics and can impress from broad powerful strums to light reserved finger picking. This guitar is in excellent condition
From Martin: "While Martin has previously produced a slightly oversized instrument in the form of the D-45S Authentic 1936 inspired by an instrument from the C.F. Martin Museum Collection, this Super Dreadnought (The Super D) is now the largest body size in Martin’s product line. It has an internal air volume approximately twenty percent greater than the standard Dreadnought, which effectively boosts the bass output while maintaining accurate mid and treble frequencies. It also includes a new proprietary bracing pattern to maximize tone and volume. The Super D acoustic testing revealed favorable gains of up to 12dB compared to a standard Dreadnought in a controlled environment. The Super D can achieve an extended dynamic range with more volume and with less effort than any other instrument bearing the C.F. Martin logo. The outward appearance is proportional and remains true to the legendary Dreadnought shape. Standard scale length and standard depth allow this special new design to be easily played by artists of all skill levels and across a multitude of music genres."
