Description
Hearkening back to the very first Martin-branded dreadnought is the D-1 Authentic 1931, a masterwork of replicating one of Martin's most desirable pieces. Featuring accurate vintage specs and time-honored tone, the D-1 Authentic 1931 is an incredible dreadnought in feel, aesthetics, and sound. Its Adirondack Spruce top with Vintage Tone System and mahogany back and sides combine to for the rich, resonant tone that made the guitar so enticing when it was first introduced. Its balanced, well-rounded tone also applies to its feel, with hide glue construction, 1931 X bracing, and 1931 neck shape. Every inch of this guitar has been scrutinized to provide players with the most genuine recreation of the original. Golden Age Relic Brass Side Mount tuning machines, a slotted headstock, cream knobs, and a faux tortoise pickguard all contribute to the D-1's refined vintage look. The D-1 Authentic 1931 is the most accurate respresentation of the original that you'll ever find, and is an absolutely astounding dreadnought in tone, visuals, and playing feel.
