Martin D-42K 1998

Description: Martin D-42K 1998 Description MartinD-42K 1998Martin D-42K made in 1998.Among Martin's regular models, this is the highest quality model along with the D-45 and D-41.This 42 style is a venerable style that is the origin of the 45 style.In the early 1900s, the 00-42, with its luxurious inlays and binding, became the cornerstone of Martin's top-of-the-line 40 series.Before becoming the current position mark, D-45 was also a style inlay called snowflake inlay like this D-42.This snowflake inlay is a historic inlay style used on old Martins.However, although there are differences in price and grade depending on the model number of Martin guitars, the sound differs depending on the model, so there is no such thing as superior or inferior sound, and all models have a tone that only they can produce.The D-18 model is cheaper than the D-42, but the D-42 cannot produce the sound of the D-18.Of course, you can't do the opposite. So the difference in price does not necessarily mean better sound.The original D-42 has a traditional combination of spruce top, rosewood back, and mahogany neck on the sides.The model that has arrived this time is a model that uses koa material for the back and sides and was produced in a limited edition of 150 pieces.That's right, this D-42 is no ordinary D-42.So of course the sound is different from the normal D-42.When I played it, my impression was that it had a crisp sound.This kind of well-grained, bright, and clear sound seems to be a characteristic of koa wood.Although this D-42K has such characteristics, it is actually a surprisingly recent model that appeared in 1996, just two years before this individual was created.Personally, I feel that this snowflake inlay has the most Martin-like design than the D-45 and D-41 hexagon inlays.There are many different styles of Martin, so please find the one that suits you best.The part that stops the case when you open it has come off, so it opens completely.Exterior condition: Appearance has some minor scratches and signs of use.String height on 12F Currently, 1st string side approx. 2.0mm, 6th string side approx. 2.3mmTruss rod with plenty of roomCondition of the frets: Approximately 8 minutes remaining, good condition with no chatter or clogging of sound!Nut width actual measurement approx. 43.2mmColor natural wood grainManufacture year 1998Top plate material SpruceSide plate material coreBack plate material coreBody size Dreadnought typeSerial number 638318Accessories Hard case Shipping Shipping by EMS or FedEx,UPS (international express mail service, with Tracking and Insurance, handling cost).
