If Martin has given up on them, I suspect it's because of the success of Blueridge, which itself is now getting competition from Morgan Monroe, Johnson and Aria. I used to see the DR-41 going new for around $399. I hadn't heard that they'd been discontinued if so, that's unfortunate. I can't say that I've played one that truly sounded like a D-28, but they do have something of the signature Martin sound. They certainly have the look (as they should, since they're Martin's imported budget line). I've played a number of Sigma DR-41's and found them to be pretty good guitars. ![]() Ahhhh, that really put the magic back into her!!!!! I've played the crap out of it over the last 4 years, and just dressed the frets. My DR-41 will be getting a new friend this week. I lowered the saddle and the action is nice.Īlso, if appearance makes any difference, the DR-41 has abalone inlay on the fretboard and and rosette. I see ebay auctions for used ones around $300 or $400 with HSC. I believe the DR-41 has been discontinued and prices are not going down. The D-28 is a better guitar, but the DR-41 is no slouch.especially for $400. Both guitars played with rich harmonics and balanced tone. I knew he was coming over, so I put new strings on to make my guitar shine. ![]() My Sigma DR-41 compared very, very nicely. This was in addition to jamming with my buddy for a couple hours. I got to compare these very carefully for about 20 minutes back and forth. I have a Sigma DR-41 which is modeled after the Martin D-41 and is authorized by Martin. A friend brought his D-28 over to my house last year.
