10x The PRICE?! Vintage Martin D-41 vs D-45
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 янв 2024
- These two C.F. Martin & Co. dreadnought acoustic guitars were made less than a dozen years apart, yet one could be worth 10x as much as the other! Can you hear the difference?
We were lucky enough to have a vintage Martin D-45 from 1968 and a 1979 Martin D-41, so CME’s Nathaniel Murphy and Daniel Escauriza sat down to discuss the differences between the two-regardless of whatever sonic similarities there may be! Learn how to spot what makes each of these Vintage Martin dreadnought models unique, and listen to them alongside one another in Nathaniel’s hands. Then, call CME, or visit us online, or in our mobile app, to learn more about our vintage and used Martin guitar inventory in the Acoustic Room!

My papaw just gave me his D-41 that Mamaw got him in 1977. I never saw him play a different one, unless he was testing one for me. I learned to play on it in the late 90's. I cant believe its mine 😮 It was hard to play on for a long time, but man, it aounds beautiful and now I can play any guitar i pick up ❤
That's awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Perhaps it was intentional, but the build up to mention the name Neil Young, then subsequently show a picture of Bob Dylan 4:41 , made me laugh out loud.
Great playing by Nathaniel on both instruments as well as great descriptions of both by Daniel. To my ear the 45 sounded fuller and more complex than the 41 which I guess shouldn't be too surprising. There are a couple of additional differences between the 41 and 45 appointments on those two guitars. The 45 has fret markers at the 1st and 17th frets, which the 41 does not (some later 41s do but the hex inlays are smaller). Also the 45 has inlay where the sides meet the neck, and also at the opposite end where the sides meet the end pin. Those are two of the most beautiful areas of inlay in the 45 series guitars. I noticed that the top piece of the 45 has not only prominent vertical grain but also has a horizontal grain in it as well, which they say makes for a more resonant top. Also noticed that the 45 bridge pins did not have the inlay on them. Usually the 45 series guitars would have inlaid bridge pins, but maybe they did not in 1968.
Both sound great but I think I actually prefer the sound/tone of the D-41 over the D-45.
Very interesting guys!
great video fellas! love it
Thank you!! 🤘🤘
My 1972 D-18 was $500USD used in 1974, but owner had filed the small vintage frets flat, so had to get it re-fretted. That cost me $60 (not $600) and I had him used jumbo frets, didn't know better back then, was a lead player mainly (I would use 6105 size today). Sadly I lost it and my first strat to drugs back in the day, and lost far more than that in the following years. No worries, I have a collection again, and off the hard stuff...soft stuff too, except a little toke or sippy now and then. I can do without all the shell bling, since pearl and abalone detract from the resonance, the reason most serious guitar players like Clarence White used D18 and D28 guitars, although D41/45 guitars can sound excellent too, and they use the best wood. Jerry Garcia had a couple D21 guitars he got from the music store he taught banjo at in San Jose, which I thought he was mistaken about in an interview having never heard of that model. Essentially a D28 with D18 appointments, a D21 has a rosewood fretboard and bridge, black bridge pins, with Brazilian rosewood back and sides - very rare. Gruhn's recently had a special order 000-21 with a slotted peghead, I want it....!
Papaw's was $1,500 in 1977 lol Price tag is still in the case. He recently gave it to me 😮
The D45 sold new for $1200 in 1968. For reference, the average U.S. home price was $24,700 in 1969.
So the 71 is a red spruce top?
That’s interesting
Few guitars have a first fret marker. Just for decoration one assumes as one would need to be really dumb to struggle to find the first fret otherwise.
Good lord freight train sounded amazing!!!
Great demo..Great playing and flat picking.. Great flat picking on the D41. What flat pick and thickness was used and what strings were on the D41?
I am also really wondering what Flat Pick Nathaniel uses. Also in the Gibson SJ-150 Video where he gets gifted the guitar by CME and the strumming on that SJ-150 sounds so incredibly nice. I think he uses a Dunlop Jazz III the red one but I am really not sure.
0.30 sec into the show I reckon it is the first one that Nathaniel played the expensive one and if I'm wrong I ain't revise my comment.
Great stuff! Amazing D-45. The D-41 as well. Crazy prices coming out of that book, but very interesting. Technically the two guitars are the same, just a little less bling bling on the D-41. Got a 70s D-41 in my collection ;)
Sweet pickin'.,Hey Hey My My
