What We Think
This guitar embraced us like a bear hug from a good friend. Gorgeous Koa that has a ton of character provides a solid foundation for the spruce top to dance on. Mid-range that's present and almost vocal-like in quality. A strong resonant base that doesn't dissolve into mud in the mix.
This is truly a standout piece among dreadnoughts, a limited edition that's balanced and beauteous.
Manufacturer's Description from Martin
Limited to 44 guitars (after John's birth year of 1944), these gorgeous 14-fret slope-shoulder Dreadnoughts boast back and sides of highly figured koa and an Adirondack spruce top finished in stunning Amber Burst. Inlay for the fingerboard is a John Sebastian design in mother of pearl. Each piece will include a label signed by John Sebastian and numbered in sequence, along with a photo label.
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.
