刚在网上碰到一篇文章（http://www.vintageguitar.com/1846/martin-d-1-2/ 但不那个就上不去），专业介绍老D-1的，应该是当时刚推出不久时写的。对之很推崇，有不少技术细节。
我小总结一下主要细节和亮点：
1，侧板是合板，但更坚固。
2，使用与马丁传统音粱不同的音粱系统A-Frame。音粱更轻。也是用新设计的琴颈与琴体连接的新模式，避免了一些问题的发生。
3，油漆笔多数马丁油漆要更薄。仅有纸厚。
4，是极少也适合指弹的马丁D。多数录音师玩家很少用马丁D录指弹，但D-1可以。
不用那个，在这儿看吧：

Over the years, I’ve tried to include instruments in this
column that were functional and affordable. Occasionally, we’
ve lucked out and found spectacular instruments that offer
more than your money’s worth. Some of my personal favorites
from the past include the Mesa/Boogie Mark III amp, Kramer
Pacer guitar and the Gibson L6S.
This month’s entry is a guitar I can no longer ignore. The
Martin D-1 is my favorite new acoustic, and yet I see them
priced new for $700 or less across the nation. I’ve started
seeing them used in the $600 range, and for what you get in
return, this may just be the best bargain I’ve ever written
about in this column.
Martin guitars need little introduction. In 1833, Christian
Frederick Martin left 19th-century Germany and relocated in
the hills of eastern Pennsylvania. Through the years, the
company has made dozens of models, almost completely handmade,
and hammered out a reputation that business people in any
industry could only envy. The D-1 is a new guitar, which first
appeared on the scene at the Winter NAMM show in 1993. With a
list price of $995, the folks in Nazareth were doing their
best to produce a quality made-in-America acoustic deserving
of the “since 1833” moniker. As the current catalog
illuminates, “Martin opted to utilize a two-piece solid
mahogany back, coupled with veneered mahogany sides. The
three-ply sides provide an extraordinary dimensional
stability.”
Cosmetically, it’s hard to tell the sides are not solid wood.
“Perhaps the most radical departure from most typical Martin
guitar construction is the redesign of the top bracing pattern
and neck-to-body joint area,” the catalog continues. “Unique
A-frame braces tie directly into a laminated alder neck block,
adding support to the soundhole area. The neck incorporates a
buttress extension designed specially to support the
fingerboard.”
Gibson pioneered the concept in 1960, with the Johnny Smith
jazz guitar. The idea is to have more wood beneath where the
fingerboard joins the top. Smith reasoned this would give
better sustain and fewer dead spots above the 12th fret. While
the D-1 isn’t a cutaway guitar, it does add clarity to upper
-register notes. I also suspect this diminishes the chances of
the fingerboard pulling away from the top. Martin also
stresses that “the X brace has been modified to a full square
overlap, and a unique, angled maple bridge plate minimizes
failure of this high-stress component.”
Thus, the different construction techniques are designed to
improve an already excellent design many players argue can’t
be improved upon.
Visually, this isn’t the typical Martin finish. The white
spruce top, made famous on dreadnoughts and concert 00 series
guitars, is missing, along with the shiny glossed rosewood
back and sides. The D-1 looks like a Gibson LG-0 made in
Nazareth and sized like a D-18. With the cost of a new D-18
over $2,000 (list), Martin wisely decided to opt for a less
expensive finish and still use quality materials. The D-1
looks like it’s made totally from mahogany wood and finished
with a paper-thin coat of lacquer sealer. In fact, Martin says
the D-1 uses “a special cross link finish… extremely thin,
to optimize tone.” The typical dreadnought features apply –
20 frets on an 251/2″ scale, 14 frets clear of the body, etc.
The fretwork is nice, with somewhat larger frets than the
typical Martin. Tuners are chrome-plated affairs that look
suspiciously like Schallers without really saying so. In my
experience, they are the weakest part of the guitar. While
many will find they work satisfactorily, they are also the
easiest part to replace.
We’ve looked at the cosmetics and the materials, but how does
the D-1 sound?
To my ears, fantastic! In the past two years, two students
have bought these guitars and they both have special stuff I
didn’t expect to find in a newer acoustic. I think of the D-1
as almost two separate guitars – a great fingerstyle
instrument and a very good bluegrass “battleship.” Unlike
most every D-series Martins I’ve played, the D-1 responds to
every little nuance, whether played with fingers or
fingerpicks. It seems lighter than other acoustics I’ve
played, but the D-1 is probably my favorite fingerpicking
dreadnought. If you need more guts, grab a flatpick and it’s
all there.
To be fair, the D-1 doesn’t have the bluegrass festival
volume of a good D-28 or even an average D-18. However, it
doesn’t cost anywhere near as much, and to me, the D-1 is
more versatile. Most studio players don’t record fingerstyle
parts with a dreadnought. This guitar is perhaps the only
Martin D size you could do it with and still sound convincing.
Maybe the top bracing, thinner finish or combination of woods
is responsible; whatever does it, the D-1 works.
I don’t think Martin should drop its other guitars and just
make the D-1. I don’t care for its appearance, only because I
prefer the white spruce top on the other D-series guitars.
Many of you will find the mahogany finish attractive. I also
don’t care for the tuners, but I’ve already said this can be
remedied easily, and if Martin had to cut any corners, this is
without question the place to do it. But these quibbles are
picayune, and the D-1 is one of my favorite new guitars,
regardless of price.
The best thing about this guitar is its consistency. Phil
Jones, in North Carolina, and John Jegen, in Texas, both have
D-1s I’ve played extensively, and both instruments amaze me.
This is hard to do with any instrument, but even more so with
a flat-top acoustic. If you’re looking for a new, American-
made acoustic with real tone and magic, snap up a D-1 before
Martin wises up and raises the price $500 or so. You might
find these guitars on sale new for around $700, or call one of
our VG dealers and tell ’em Riley sent you. Happy hunting,
amigos!
