Classic Martin Dreadnought with a High-performance Neck

The D-41 dreadnought, first introduced in 1969, is an important installment in Martin's 185-year legacy as one of America's most celebrated instrument makers. It has been favorably compared to the venerable D-45 — though only slightly less decorated. The latest D-41 retains the big, bold tone of previous generations, but substitutes a slimmer High Performance Taper neck for even greater playability, along with Forward Shifted X Bracing for greater bass. Its tone remains one of the most recognizable voices in American music history. Vintage-styled visuals and appointments, including an aged toner finish and open-gear tuners, give this D-41 an heirloom look. Own a piece of the Martin legacy with the Martin D-41 dreadnought acoustic guitar from Sweetwater.

Stunning detail

The D-41 features truly stunning details in design and craftsmanship. The D-41 top is inlaid with stunning abalone pearl while the entire body features a beautiful antique white binding. The mahogany neck is topped with a gorgeous ebony fingerboard with abalone hexagon inlays. The 20 medium frets have been Plek'd to ensure impeccable response and feel. Gold open-gear tuners top a stunning rosewood headstock, while a classic block overlay Martin logo inscription gives the D-41 an added vintage look.

AMAZING!!!

I just took it out of its case. It truly is a work of art. I have a DX one from 10 years ago. An HD28 From all the way back in 2017 that I love. This one, the D41 is magnificent. Just the right amount of abalone inlay without going overboard (for me). The nut, bridge and pins are bone, adds to the tone. The tone is very pleasing. My ears have been listening to stuff for 64 years so the high frequencies aren’t what they used to be. This one rings pretty. It’s like Goldie locks ......not too high....not too low ..... just right. It seems that Wood is ‘graded’... like pool cues, one can be straight and true, another looks like a hammock. The wood used in the D41 is pretty darn nice. Sounds absolutely amazing. James had the shop put on marquis custom 11s.... at my request and I couldn’t be happier. What a beautiful guitar and it’s all mine.

D41 (2001):

I have 5 Martin guitars: D28 Marquis, std D28, HD28 LSV, 00028EC, and 2004 D41. They are ALL phenomenal playing instruments and keepers. That said, when I took delivery of the D41 I was floored by both sound and playability. Simply amazing! I have many acoustic playing friends and the few whom have played it all said the same thing: "WOW". Yep, it's that good. HIGHLY recommended ;-)
Music background: Piano/keys, acoustic guitar, harmonica & banjo.

Amazing Guitar

I bought mine from Chris Goldbach a few months ago. I have bought about 6 guitars and a Mesa Boogie amp from Sweet Water so when i got interested in this guitar of course I looked at Sweetwater. Chris was awesome as usual and I received this thing in 2 days. It sounds absolutely amazing. I wish I had been buying Martin's all along. Nothing against the Taylor guitars that I Own but this guitar sounds incredible. If you can afford it, it is worth every penny!
Rated 5/5

Amazing instrument

I have had this guitar now for about 1.5 weeks and have already played it about 50 hours. It is very hard to put down because the sound, playability, and character are just perfect. I own about 10 guitars and this one is my all time favorite. The craftsmanship that went into this instrument is out of this world. This will be an heirloom past down to many generations for sure.

Big thanks to Brad Jones my sales engineer for his excellent customer service!
