By the mid-1990s, Martin's D-45 had firmly reclaimed its place as the company's high-end dreadnought, pairing ornate appointments with the familiar rosewood and spruce construction that has made the model a staple for decades. This 1995 example has benefited from a professional neck reset, making it ready for many more years of use, as well as a strap button installation. Abalone trim surrounds the top, fingerboard, headstock, and rosette, giving the guitar a distinctive appearance without overshadowing its traditional design. More than three decades after Martin reintroduced the D-45 to regular production, instruments like this demonstrate why the model continues to hold such an important place in the company's lineup. It remains a clean representation of a modern-era D-45 with the balance of refinement and utility that has kept the model in demand.
