Martin 000-42 Reimagined 2024

The Martin 000-42 acoustic guitar brings together rosewood warmth and timeless class

The Martin 000-42 is an Auditorium guitar for players seeking not only a refined look, but above all an instrument with depth, balance, and character. The combination of a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides provides a rich acoustic foundation. Abalone details, antique white binding, and the elegant Style 45 aesthetic make this Martin a guitar that is just as convincing in the living room as it is on a carefully lit stage.

Thanks to the 000-14-fret body, the guitar has a comfortable shape and a balanced response across all six strings. The tone moves smoothly from full, warm bass to clear highs, with rich overtones that add extra depth to open chords and melodic lines. The Golden Era scalloped X-bracing supports sustain and dynamics, allowing you to let subtle nuances speak with a light touch and effortlessly build extra volume and expression with more power.

The genuine mahogany neck has a Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile with High-Performance Taper and a 24.9-inch scale. The ebony fretboard has twenty frets, a 16-inch radius, and abalone Style 45 Snowflake inlays. The top is finished in Gloss with Aging Toner, while the ebony bridge features a Golden Era Modern Belly drop-in saddle. Gold open gear tuners with Butterbean knobs, a bone nut, a compensated bone saddle, and the dovetail neck joint complete the package. This version has no built-in electronics and comes with a hardshell case.

For those looking for an expressive Martin acoustic guitar with a comfortable Auditorium body, rich choice of woods, and exceptional finish, the 000-42 is an instrument to return to for years to come.
