2003 Martin D-50 Deluxe Brazilian - A Real Showstopper

We are very excited to announce the arrival of this extremely rare Martin Limited Edition D-50 at Dream Guitars featuring both Brazilian Rosewood and Bearclaw Sitka Spruce.

 

This 2003 Martin Limited Edition D-50 is number 2 of only 50 made and is as much an art object as an instrument. Not withstanding its amazing appointments, this baby sounds amazing. Lush, tight basses are easily coaxed from this beauty, along with well defined mids and trebles with just the right chime and sparkle.

 

Price: $39,995

That's pretty fancy...love the inlays on the neck and the BRW is beautiful!

That'd be a nice guitar for televised appearences, but I'd be afraid to use it in a typical C&W bar (too good a chance of it being damaged by a drunk).

DEFINITELY a real showstopper. Pity there isn't a 17" jumbo version (a Martin J-50?)

Nice guitar... but every single one of your seven posts on Harmony Central has been retail spam - in direct violation of our site rules.

This will be your last one - Goodbye.

Spam notwithstanding, I must say that I like some of that inlay, especially the "leaves" around the end pin and on either side of the center strip on the back. 

As a former student of the visual arts though I see this as being overly decorative as in the style of French Rococo.

Looks like an oyster threw up on the fingerboard.

After a certain point it just looks a little too much like it belongs in Liberace's boudoir.

Personally I'd prefer a little less pearl and a little better wood. That wood is nice but not quartersawn.

Better Brazilian rosewood is available on Ebay. If they couldn't go with that, African Blackwood would be killer.

 

Hold the pearl....but for $40,000 maybe use wood like THIS

No - thanks to you folks for letting us know about it. :)

We really do appreciate it when you guys let us know about spam; with you all serving as extra eyes, it helps us spot it and deal with it faster. After all, we can't be everywhere at once, or read every post as it goes up... :)

Hey everyone, Dream Guitars here. We messed up here. We blatantly missed the terms of this forum. It's on us. We do not want to be spammy as we hate that very much ourselves. We do love posting about our instruments but do not like breaking forum rules. Again our apologies to everyone.
