The D-45 Marquis model was offered by Martin from 2006 through 2008. These finely made instruments were styled after a 1937 D-45 example. They're constructed of fine Indian Rosewood, a forward shifted solid / scalloped Adirondack X bracing, solid Adirondack top and Golden Era 45 appointments. The run topped out at 91 pieces production total over the three years.
Martin put their best foot forward when introducing such an amazing, limited run of guitars. The selection, quality and color of the woods as well as the Golden Era style appointments used to construct this fine guitar make this instrument the pinnacle of acoustic guitars for anyone wanting the best that Martin has to offer. Comes complete with original hardshell case.
The frets has been upgraded to stainless steel - this guitar should never need a refret. Also the Bridge has been replaced.
TOP: Solid Adirondack Spruce BACK AND SIDES: Solid East Indian Rosewood BRACING PATTERN: Forward Shifted X-Brace BRACING SHAPE: Scalloped FINISH: Gloss SCALE LENGTH: 25.4" NUT WIDTH: 1 3/4"
NUT MATERIAL: Bone NECK: Select Hardwood NECK SHAPE: V FINGERBOARD: Ebony BRIDGE: Ebony - replacement
I've tried that many different strings over the years but I always come back to Martin MA540 Phosphor Bronze. There's nothing else sounds quite as good on my OM18, J50, Hummingbird etc. Studio 1 are the best place to buy the 3 pack - even when they have none in stock - I drop them line and they get back within 2 or 3 days to say they're ready to take my order.
Thanks a lot guys for the great service as usual !!

Everyone at Studio 1 is so amazing, they are so understanding and helpful. They helped me find the perfect guitar for me. I wish more dealers in the US were as outstanding as this crew is. And it’s pretty obvious their website is one of the best in the business. Just because you are not in NZ, do not hesitate, they know what they are doing!

Dana, I’ve been waiting for this guitar for many years, Thank You!!!
Well Garrick you’ve delivered once again mate. This “0” size “Country Boy” by Dana Bourgeois is just incredible. Very elegant in design,nothing superfluous just master grade materials and a deep appreciation of all possibilities resulting in a strong, clean and uncluttered sound from a very user friendly instrument. Tight but loose at the same time, wonderful.
Thanks Garrick and Co.
Thanks Studio 1 Vintage Guitar’s.

Guild D50
Communication was great, delivery was super quick and packed so well. The guitar is everything I thought it would be. I have a 74 D50R which is quite a chunky neck, still lovely to play though, this one has a slimmer neck which suits my hands much better. Love the feel, sound and the look of this guitar. I would buy from these guys again if anything came up that tickled my fancy. I'm a very keen Guild collector, so I'm super happy I have this one now.

Wow probably the best guitar I have ever played. Garrick found this for me after some lengthy conversations and he delivered and some. This is second guitar from these guys and they rock for sure. Always so helpful and quick to answer any questions. Words can’t express how impressive these guys are. Lifetime customer.

This product has no reviews of its own. The merchant grouped it with related products, so the reviews shown are from across that group.

2007 1937 authentic D-18
I thoroughly enjoyed my buying experience through Studio 1 vintage. Nick is an amazing guy full of the information that I was looking for to make the proper decision on the right guitar for me. He’s patient, professional, and very talented musician. How I found your company was through YouTube and the great videos and demonstration’s that he does. I’m looking forward to doing future business with you guys all the best. Cheers.!!

Garrick was amazing and answered my many questions and found me a beautiful guitar. Very pleased with everything and so refreshing seeing new zealand being able to get these sorts of guitars within the country and not having to import

Studio 1 & 1943 Gibson SJ Banner.
Studio 1 have made accessibility to these instruments possible here in NZ. To be able to play old Martin's, Gibson's & premium Small shop Master Luthier built guitars is simply fantastic.
Very easy, helpful & genuine to deal with makes the process nicely stress free so if you are looking for a great guitar, check em out.
As for the 1943 SJ banner... I think my smile says it all. The same goes for the 1954 D-28.
Both recently purchased from Garrick at Studio 1.
