Martin's fancy "40-series" guitars are valued mostly for their inlay, specifically, the abalone binding. In function though, they are HD-28s dressed up to varying degrees. The D-42 is the exception, though, as Martin uses their forward shifted, scalloped bracing in this model, giving it a sound much more like their Vintage series guitars.

In this particular guitar, the "K" tells us that the back and sides are made of highly prized Hawaiian koa wood.

This one has hardly been used--if it were not for some tiny rubs on the pickguard, it would pass as new--no scratches or dings, and zero fret wear! The original case is equally like new.

With that original hardshell case it's only $3500.

	Sitka spruce top with abalone binding and purfling.			Back and sides are made of Hawaiian Koa, a wood that can only be harvested when trees have died, i.e., living cannot be cut down, greatly limiting the supply of this highly figured wood.
	The mahogany neck has been stained to match the gorgeous koa of the back.			The back is highly figured on this particular instrument.
	The multi-bound, ebony fingerboard has very handsome snowflake abalone inlay			The multi-bound peghead features Martin's historic -45 style logo.
	Befitting an instrument of this quality, it has gold-plated, butterbean style tuners.
