I would LOVE to own one. I was in a Sam Ash store on Sunset in Hollywood 15 years ago and they had a D-42 in a display case NEAR THE DOOR. There was a glass door that I opened and I pulled it out. I was shocked at the resonating tone. I hope to own one someday No way would they let anybody just pick up a D-42 and play it without supervision nowadays.
I have 2001 D-42, it sound so good, also a 1973 D-28, they each have their own sounds, I do have 2 Taylor's, they a great also but they are not D-42, I like different songs with each. If I had to take just one it would be my D-42
To each their own. There's an old saying, "Martin's are for the Good old boys. Gibson's for the bad boys, Taylor's for the choir boys". I didn't make it up but totally agree.
Hi brother! I was testing my D42 wanting to compare it with the sound of yours just to play and I realized that perhaps yours is tuned in a different way; I am wrong?
@GianoOudeis72 I tune mine to 432hz. About a quarter step down. Plus I always use Titanium core strings on my Martin Dreadnoughts may give it a bit of a different tone. What year is your D-42?

I’ve got a 08 D41 special that I absolutely love.
I've got a 38 special on a 45 frame.
D-41 Special has always been on my want list. But now that I have this D-42 I can wait a little longer...
@@maplebones You must mean a .38 Super.

Each to his own i have a Martin d18 I would my trade for any other guitar out there
I'll take my Taylor everyday. Played and owned Martin's and they are overrated.

If you like tinkly sounding guitars, go for it.
