Martin D45 Price Tracker (updated June, 2023)

One of the nicest and most expensive acoustic guitars on the market would be the Martin D45. For fans of the traditional dreadnought design and crisp, warm strumming tone, the D45 is as good as they come, and would even be considered a bit of a collector's item that holds its value quite well.

This page is a D45 price guide with live updating price tools to show you what you can expect to pay currently.

We've covered options from multiple retailers, along with used and new options, primarily from eBay and Reverb.

Martin D45 Sweetwater Retail

Sweetwater's retail is what we've used in the above answer box. Typically Sweetwater is the most accurate depicter of approximate market value. They don't tend to offer a lot of deals or discounts, but they don't run up the price either.

Currently the D45 sits at $9,699.00 on Sweetwater, but that can change pretty quickly, depending on appeal as a collectors item and the market at large.

Additional Vendors Availability and Pricing

Note that there are some more rare versions of the D45, like the Sunburst version listed below. These tend to be significantly more expensive, though the regular D45 - as you can see here - in the used market will usually drop between five and 10 percent. 

Price Alert Sign Up (based on Sweetwater retail)

You can use this tool to sign up for a price alert, which will let you know if the D45 drops under whatever price point you see. To be honest, we don't think it's likely to drop in price, unless lumber and related commodities drop. At the time of writing this piece, that has not been the case.

Martin D45 Price History

This graph plots the price history of the Martin D45. Note that single bullet point means we have only recorded one price for the D45. As time goes on and the price changes (via Sweetwater retail), we'll record each movement on this graph to give you a picture of where the market is leaning.

Used Pricing based on Reverb

We've based our Reverb tracking on the Standard version of the D45, which is often available used with multiple options (surprising for such an expensive guitar). You can browse the Reverb page directly, or check back on this page for price changes. 

Note that the price below reflect the lowest known price for the D45, where additional listings of the guitar go higher from there.
