This example pairs an Adirondack Spruce top with Indian Rosewood for the sides, back, and head plate. Typical of Martin guitars, the body blocks and neck are Tropical Mahogany, and as part of the Style 28 feature set, the fingerboard and bridge are Ebony.

MORE →The C. F. Martin OM-45 Marquis is a top of the line instrument, built like the Golden Era line but with Indian instead of Brazilian Rosewood. It would be the crown jewel in anyone’s guitar collection! The top and its vintage-scalloped bracing are Adirondack Spruce. The nut and saddle are definitely special, made of fossilized Ivory. This is a 45 style guitar, so it uses an abalone shell liner for the perimeter and soundhole, Snowflake fingerboard inlay set and Martin headstock logo. The neck is mahogany with a bound ebony fingerboard. And, there’s a K & K pickup installed!
