Martin D-42 (Pre-owned) 2002

C.F. Martin & Co. D-42 (2002) – Rosewood Dreadnought – Very Good Condition

This Martin D-42 2002 — also searched as D42 2002, Martin D 42 Standard Series, or pre-reimagined D-42 — is a high-end rosewood dreadnought known for its rich overtones, strong projection, and elegant abalone trim.

Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, this 2002 Martin D-42 delivers deep piano-like bass, warm mids, and clear, shimmering highs. The dreadnought body provides excellent headroom and presence, making it ideal for both powerful strumming and articulate fingerstyle.

Featuring scalloped X-bracing, this model offers a more open and responsive tone with enhanced resonance and dynamic range.

This Martin D-42 (2002) is in very good condition, showing only light cosmetic signs of normal use. No structural problems. Plays smoothly and sounds rich and balanced.

Includes original Martin hardshell case.
