Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Martin’s D-45 Modern Deluxe is a natural-finish dreadnought that combines an aged VTS spruce top with forward-shifted Adirondack X bracing and East Indian rosewood back and sides. The design is described as resonant, with added low-end response, complex overtones, and a bright upper register. A carbon-fiber bridge plate and Liquidmetal bridge pins bring modern materials into the build, while the asymmetrical neck profile and High Performance Taper ebony fingerboard shape the playing experience. Flame maple binding, abalone detailing, gold hardware, and a hardshell case complete the package.
