Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
The Martin D-41L is a guitar which has been meticulously designed to deliver exceptional sound that is rich in stunning acoustic qualities. Crafted in a classic dreadnought shape, the D-41L emanates both beauty and a gorgeous, even tone, as well as being superbly comfortable to play. Such easy playing is aided by the smooth ebony fretboard, which accommodates a range of playing styles whilst always producing a snappy attack. Suitable for any guitarist, the shape and sound of this guitar is versatile, balanced, and truly exquisite.
Project every note with glistening definition and a balanced response. Employing a magical combination of tonewoods, the D-41L delivers a tone that is resonant and clear thanks to the rosewood back and sides, whilst encompassing crisp articulation courtesy of a spruce top. The mahogany neck then brings robustness and a warmth of tone which teams perfectly with the brightness of the ebony fretboard. Further strength and stability have been made possible by stiff and sound-enhancing scalloped bracing mounted inside. From rich and immersive lows to sparkling highs, the Martin D-41L is sure to deliver a mesmerising performance.

Pioneers of dreadnought guitars, Martin know a thing or two about this comfortable, classic, and tonally gorgeous shape. There's a reason it is one of the most sought-after styles. Not only do its elegant curves offer an easy playing experience, but its spacious lower bout and overall balanced size also deliver a dynamic yet even tone. This makes it the perfect undercurrent for the clarity, brightness, and depth produced by the D-41L's tonewoods. It also makes it wonderfully versatile, enough to thrive with any playing style, in any environment.
East Indian rosewood and spruce. There really isn't a more exquisite tonewood combination. Crafted from rosewood, the back and sides of the D-41L offer a beautifully rich tone, embellished with brightness and sparkling clarity. Fingerpick, strum, and deliver crystal-clear, pitch-perfect solos - rosewood's response is even across the whole frequency range, giving you a wonderfully consistent sound. Its dark and complex resonance creates a beautiful full-bodied tone, whilst a certain amount of 'zing' gives it that sharpness needed for excellent definition. All these tonal qualities, as well as its sturdiness and reliability, make rosewood a popular choice for acoustic guitars. So, you know it’s a trustworthy feature.
Complementing the back and sides is another reliable tonewood - the spruce top. Spruce has a broad dynamic range, perfect for any gigging musician who needs good volume and sound projection. Its crisp articulation makes the world of difference for a range of playing styles, whilst its balanced tone provides a huge amount of versatility. For a beautiful, clear tone in which every single note rings out with glistening definition, spruce does not disappoint. And its combination with rosewood enhances such sparkling clarity even more, resulting in a simply glorious acoustic sound.
The divine properties of the D-41L extend from the body and travel up the mahogany neck. A mahogany neck is a welcomed feature for any avid guitarist as its strength is needed for this thin part of the guitar. Mahogany also offers warm yet punchy sonic qualities with an emphasized midrange that begs colourful overtones. But the showstopper really is the ebony fretboard attached on top. It's what makes this guitar stand out from others out there. Not only does its naturally shaded colour contrast brilliantly with the bright spruce top, but it also brings a wealth of characteristics that make for a sublime playing experience. Ebony's high oil content gives it a smooth and fast finish, lending itself to quick and immaculate fretting techniques. Its high level of durability also means it can handle the frequent attack of your fingertips without wearing away. Whether it’s a simple guitar practice session at home or a sold-out gig with an awestruck crowd, the ebony fretboard promises to thrive and deliver.
Now onto the more enticing attributes of ebony… its stunning sonic capabilities. Ebony is an extremely responsive tonewood that offers a beautifully bright sound, making it a gorgeous accompaniment to rosewood and spruce. Project your music with purpose and brilliant volume, ebony's snappy and crisp attack ensures that every single note cuts through the mix astonishingly well, leaving nothing unheard. This exquisite sound produced by a high-quality tonewood is exactly what acoustic players look for, and the D-41L delivers it with pure excellence.
We all know that beauty comes from within, and the D-41L is no different. Scalloped, forward-shifted X-bracing has been mounted inside to offer more expansive vibrations, stability, and a depth of tone. The scalloped shape of the bracing means parts have been scooped out, allowing the spruce top to vibrate more freely and resulting in a more dynamic sound that retains structural reliability. An X-bracing pattern then offers even more stability, enough to accommodates high-tension steel strings.
If you're going to play an instrument that encompasses so much sonic and practical magnificence, then you'll want it to have an aesthetic to match. The D-41L showcases pure simplicity and excellence, whilst also being visually striking. The bright yet natural yellow-ish colour of the spruce top offers a stunning backdrop for the elegant pickguard featuring tortoise pattern and ebony bridge. The antique white binding and abalone fretboard inlays then add subtle embellishments, resulting in a truly magnificent aesthetic. And even better, it is road-ready thanks to the ply hardshell case that is included with the guitar.
