Nashville guitarist and producer Corey Congilio shows off the superb and always eye catching Martin D-45 Standard.
This iconic D-45 fuses classic, inimitable Martin construction with gorgeous aesthetics and tops it all off with a supremely comfortable neck. First things first - the top of this guitar is solid Sitka spruce and the sides and back are solid East Indian rosewood. This is a tried and true tonewood pairing for acoustic guitars that provides balanced projection and nuanced subtlety. It's a perfect match for the dreadnought body style, which naturally sculpts the low end. What's under the hood of this iconic guitar is just as important as what you can see. Under the top, the solid Sitka spruce braces are arranged in a standard scalloped "X" pattern. This allows the top to vibrate more freely without compromising strength. It has a distinctly more pronounced tonal character than non-scalloped guitars. The dovetail neck joint is crucial to this guitar's sound and stability as well.
Aesthetically, the D-45 is about as dressed up as it gets. It features beautiful abalone pearl style 45 hexagon inlays on the fretboard, as well as abalone pearl body binding with white boltaron. The pickguard is a beveled, polished tortoise shell color. The top, back, sides and neck have been given a polished gloss finish. Gold tuners and the abalone pearl "CF Martin" headstock inlay tops everything off.
