What Makes the D-41 Special Different from a Standard D-41?
The D-41 Special features several premium upgrades not found on the regular D-41, including:
- Hexagon abalone fingerboard inlays (instead of snowflakes)
- Vintage-style open-gear tuners
- Modified bracing voicing that opens up the midrange response
- Style 45 abalone rosette instead of the standard Style 41 rosette
- Slightly more ornate aesthetic details for a more luxurious appearance
These elements give the D-41 Special a more vintage-inspired look and a slightly more responsive tonal character than the standard D-41.
This 2009 example is in excellent condition, with a clean body, strong structure, and pristine playability. Comes with the original Martin hardcase.
