D-28 B and D-45 B Brazilian Models on the Way
Martin is making a small edition of Brazilian rosewood dreadnoughts, called the D-28B and D-45B.
They were offered for sale at Summer NAMM in Nashville (currently happening this weekend.)
I remembered to ask about this while having lunch with a group of folks from Martin executives and senior management, just before I returned to NYC. They could not remember off hand exactly how many D-28B and D-45 guitars are being made. But it is an equal number, and Martin dealers are required to buy one of each if they want any at all.
So, to be able to sell the $20K list price D-28B, a dealer must also purchase for sale the $45K list price D-45B. Prices are approximate, as they were speaking off hand in a restaurant out of town, so the specifics where not readily available.
As for construction, I was told "pretty much Golden Era Series specs." As this all happened on a few minutes before we parted company. So that is all I learned.
I will get more information on Monday.
