| I can't remember the last time a new Martin model
has attained this much grass roots status amongst players. The buzz
I've been hearing about this guitar has been very very encouraging to say
the least ... and now I know why. This thing is SERIOUS!
This is THE most authentic replica that C.F. Martin
& Co. has ever offered ... right down to the substantial C-shaped neck
profile, T-bar neck reinforcement, butterbean tuners replicas
with matte plating, fossilized ivory nut & saddle, Brazilian
rosewood peghead veneer with old-style decal, Adirondack spruce top,
Adirondack spruce 5/16" scalloped forward shifted bracing pattern,
ultra thin nitro lacquer finish with aging toner, replica hardshell
case ... all put together with hide glue, like the originals!
Powerful? Massive? Elephantine?
All I can say is this ... pull your hat down over your ears,
jam your boots into those stirrups, open the gate and just hang on
for dear life. Enjoy the ride!!! |
