These guitars were built in extremely small numbers, making surviving examples highly sought-after by collectors they merge Martin’s acoustic heritage with modern electric versatility. Featuring a chambered mahogany body and solid top, this model delivers exceptional resonance with impressive sustain and clarity.
Outfitted with a factory-installed pickup system and a Bigsby vibrato, it blends shimmering acoustic overtones with expressive electric textures—perfect for players crossing between genres.
