What We Think
Old and new have never enjoyed a happier meeting! The vintage looks and tone of this lightly-used beauty are perfectly complimented by a modern modified neck shape and onboard Fishman electronics. You'll be overjoyed to shift your view from a gorgeous, golden spruce top to the controls for the highly powerful and versatile F1 Aura+ on the side. That classic sound and style will translate perfectly to whatever room you're in thanks to Fishman's cutting edge features like Automatic Anti-Feedback and programmable tone presets. A spot-on piece for those who want the best, both from the Golden Era of guitars and from modern innovations made with the gigging musician in mind.

About Manufacturer
For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
