Hands down the Best sounding D-42 we've ever had in the shop! Plenty of character. Indian Rosewood back & sides Sitka spruce top with Aging toner Grained Ivoroid bindings Abalone rosette, top trim, and fingerboard perimeter C. F. Martin headstock inlay Gold Waverly tuning machines Ebony fretboard with Snowflake inlays Ebony bridge with Snowflake inlays on the wings This guitar has been setup by guitar Guru Larry Craig (see pic below) He uses 3 Ebony pins (lower strings) and 3 water buffalo pins for the upper 3 strings. Action is LOW, baby, like Budd-a. Plenty of finish checking on the top and a bit on the back. Played for sure, that's partly why it sounds so amazing. Original SKB case included.
