Well if you aren't aware when you put a ‘45’ in a Martin guitar designation, it usually indicates the best of the best and this one is no different, one look at the crazy high grade of woods this one has speaks volumes to this fact.
This is a 2015 Martin D-45E Retro. Essentially the D-45V (w/scalloped forward shifted bracing) but with a 1 3/4" nut width and the performing artist series neck. It also comes with the Fishman Aura system and has sound images from the 1943 D-45 in the Martin museum that were loaded into the Aura Fishman Pickup system.
Aside from one of the best pickups on the planet this guitar is an absolute a tone monster unplugged. I can't say enough good things about the way this one sounds and plays. In extremely tidy (mint) condition. Comes with a TKL Martin case.
TOP: Solid Sitka Spruce BACK AND SIDES: Solid East Indian Rosewood BRACING PATTERN: Forward Shifted X BRACING SHAPE: Scalloped FINISH: Gloss SCALE LENGTH: 25.4" NUT WIDTH: 1 3/4
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.
Paul, Sydney.

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.

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.!!
