Martin Custom Shop Expert Super D (Super Dreadnought). In near-mint condition with just a couple of barely visible blemishes you'd have to closely inspect to find, whilst bouncing light onto the surface.

 

The Martin Custom Shop Super D is the largest body size ever offered by Martin, a bold and powerful redesign that pushes the dreadnought concept further than any model before it. While Martin has built oversized instruments in the past, such as the D-45S Authentic 1936, the Super D is the first to enter the official product line as a fully realised body shape. With an internal air volume approximately twenty percent greater than a standard dreadnought, it delivers a dramatic increase in bass response, projection and overall dynamic range. Acoustic testing revealed gains of up to 12dB compared to a standard dreadnought, giving the Super D a commanding voice that fills a room with less effort and more authority than any other Martin.

 

Despite its size, the Super D remains proportional and true to the classic dreadnought silhouette. Standard depth and a familiar 25.4" scale length make it surprisingly comfortable to play, and the new proprietary bracing pattern maximises volume while maintaining clarity across the frequency range. The result is a guitar with huge low-end power, accurate mids and clear, singing trebles, capable of handling everything from delicate playing to aggressive flatpicking.

 

This Custom Shop example features highly flamed koa back and sides, a visually stunning tonewood with deep figure and natural shimmer. The three-piece back and matching sides are finished in gloss, showcasing the dramatic flame pattern. The top is spruce with VTS treatment, giving it the openness and responsiveness of a well-aged vintage instrument. Tri-Colour Herringbone top inlay, antique white binding and a multi-stripe rosette complete the elegant aesthetic.

 

The ebony fingerboard and bridge offer a smooth, premium feel, with Diamond and Square Long Pattern abalone inlays adding a touch of classic Martin refinement. The Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper provides modern comfort, while the genuine mahogany neck with satin finish feels fast and familiar. Nickel open-gear butterbean tuners sit on a highly flamed koa headplate with CFM Script inlay, tying the whole instrument together visually. It comes complete with its original hardshell case, strap button and tags/paperwork.
