This is a gorgeous instrument. I bought this new in 2006 and it’s never been out of the house and always handled with utmost care. This was the first of 3 series of this production that contained a limited 100 units per series, the other two series appearing in 2008 and 2018. I doubt you could find a more perfect guitar hanging on a music store wall. I planned on keeping this for as long as I lived, but a nerve injury to my right forearm has caused me to pretty much lose my finger picking abilities. Long story short this guitar belongs with someone who can do it justice. Description is as follows; Martin Arts and Crafts
Neck:  Low-profile mahogany neck with gold side-dots.  Ebony fingerboard with very unique abalone border gold pearl gingko leaves.  Frets are in perfect condition with no wear.  Gold mother of pearl headstock border & inlays.  Antique gold finish enclosed tuners in perfect working condition.  1 11/16" bone nut width; 25.4" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod is in perfect working condition.
Body:  Dreadnought body with rosewood binding & herringbone purfling.  Gorgeous solid bearclaw spruce top with highly figured solid flamed mahogany back & sides.  Scalloped top braces.  Three "bowtie" insets along the center back seam & four small square insets in the body on either side of the neck heel.  These unique insets are purely decorative & not structural.  Ebony pyramid Stauffer bridge with ebony pins & bone saddle.  Brown "leatherlam" pickguard made of leather fibers.  3-ring rosette with herringbone center ring.  Full gloss finish with aging toner for the top.  Inside label is signed by C.F. Martin IV & is numbered in sequence with the total.  This is number 58 of only 100 made.
