From webescription:

Solid materials and craftsmanship dressed down to simple elegance.

Historically, Martin's 21 styling has represented the simplest appointment level with rosewood back and sides and a spruce top. Introduced in 2007, Martin's OM-21 Special closely replicates this plain but beautiful style by blending rosewood bindings, a herringbone rosette, a nitrate tortoise pickguard and an ebony fingerboard and pyramid bridge. The D-21 Special Guitar shares identical appointments with the OM-21 Special, but in a dreadnought format. The resulting instrument offers Martin's legacy tone with classic style.

these are awesome guitars-love this model for fingerstyle, but it handles it all well. the slightly wider nut width and low profile neck is wonderful.

the rosewood binding looks cool too.

best of luck, nice price on this

I registered it 12-18-10 and it was just in to my local dealer so I believe it to be a 2010.
