Sound Pure's Take
Conditon: Used, Excellent
As excellent a collector's piece as it is a tool of musical expression, this unique piece represents the highest end of Martin's artisanry. While it's new to our ears as a tonewood, the Walnut-like darkness and concentration of tone and the Koa-like punch and clarity of the Curly Mango have left an impression we will not soon forget. Fabulous for the blues playing the bodystyle suggests, but also an instrument that would sit perfectly in a mix as a vocal accompaniment.
SP Luthier Notes:
From Martin and Co.
This exquisite 00 14-fret slope-shoulder acoustic guitar exhibits a curly mango top with a gorgeous gloss mango sunset burst finish, paired with figured curly mango back and sides. Other features include antique white binding and heelcap with multi-stripe border, a compensated bone saddle, Liquidmetal® bridge pins on an ebony bridge, and an ebony fingerboard with Style 42 snowflake inlay. The look is completed with vintage copper open-gear tuners and a stylized script logo on a faux tortoise headplate. The model also comes with a modified V neck for fast finger work. Each model includes a label signed by Chris Martin IV and numbered in sequence.
