We are happy to offer for sale this gorgeous 1975 C. F. Martin D-45 Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar made in Nazareth, PA. Rosewood back and sides, Sitka spruce top, mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. Finished in natural lacquer. Beautiful Pearl trim all around and Pearl inlays. These were top-of-the-line guitars in 1975. Originally discontinued at the onset of WWII were re-introduced in 1969 due to popular demand and were produced until 1975. Last year of this batch. These were originally sold for over $2k by 1974 and the case was extra. Not many were produced due to the price and selling numbers at the time. This one comes with the original blue hardshell case also in great condition. The overall length is 41 in. (104.1 cm.). The Scale length is 25 1/2 in. (648 mm.) 15 3/4 in. (40 cm.) width at lower bout, and 4 7/8 in. (12.4 cm.) depth at the neck side. The nut width is 43mm. This guitar weighs 2.165Kg or 4.77Lb. This is a very clean example and shows only minor signs of wear. The only thing is that the original Acetate pickguard has been replaced at some stage due to the common fact that they do shrink and warp. The work is done so well that it is hard to even spot it beside the material not being Acetate it looks great. Great player and amazing sounding guitar! Comes with the original Blue Martin hardshell case.
