"Play the "as good as" guitar."

Feature:
flawless features... from looks to sound...

Quality:
175 years of history behind it... the only guitar company to have such a claim. Awesome!

Value:
This may be debatable... but if you're a player... there's no question.

Desirability:
own one... D41... and love it.

Sound:
I’ve been playing guitar for 35+ years and have always dreamed of owning a D45. Well, I’ve found that my dreams can come true… the Martin D41 is the perfect fit for the accomplished player who has a modest budget. “The Price is Right” while considering this instrument. Imagine, playing a piece of history. With the Martin Company being in existence for 175 years… that alone should say it all. I once had a friend that used to say… Why buy the guitar that the biggest sales pitch is… “it is as good as the Martin”… when you can buy the “as good as” model itself? Believe me… to sit down and play the D41… (or D45…minus 800 pieces of abalone inlay) you will find it intoxicating. The sound surrounds you in a complete way that to experience the way it sounds and feels is only the true measurement of it’s worth. My words can only entice you… let the full, rich sound of the history of how the D41 is made capture you too. I have played many, many acoustic guitars… and own many as well… from my Taylor 814CE to my lowly Gibson dreads. Understand, you must own a Martin to complete your guitar inventory. My problem is… I only want to play my D41. I also love the 175 years of history behind my Martin. It is truly the “as good as” guitar. Why own anything else?

Ease of Use:
Plays very effortlessly... it better! :)

Support:
Everything is tops... again, the best. These people know and care about guitars.

"A True Classic"

Feature:
beautiful form fitting case, great abalone inlay

Quality:
wood grain is gorgeous, unlike Taylor, no excess laquer, so while it may ding a little easier, you can still see the grain very very well

Value:
expensive, but well worth the investment, since Martin guitars age very very well, and hold their value....

Desirability:
Beautiful guitar, the inlay shimmers in the light, a very handsome instrument

Sound:
resonance is amazing, good high, mid and low, doesn't sound muddy at all, and even as the strings age it doesn't lose its crispness

Overall:
Last 6 string I will probably invest in...

About This Product!
Description
One of Martin's most stunning instruments, the redesigned D41 maintains the original's traditional beauty and features while still delivering that famous "Martin Sound". Comparable in tone to the D45, the D41 embraces some outstanding features such as hand-inlaid Abalone pearl - over 100 pieces, hand-fitted into the top perimeter and rosette, gold-plated tuning machines, and a specially selected, scalloped-braced Spruce top. Scalloped bracing refers to Martin's technique of hand-carving concave areas or "scallops" into the lower half of the X-braces and into the 2 asymmetrical tone bar braces. This lighter bracing allows the top to vibrate more freely, yielding a louder, more open tone. Its low profile neck makes playing the D41 a dream.
