Among the most unique instruments produced in C.F. Martin’s 187-year history, this Acoustic Guitar 10th Anniversary design is guaranteed to be highly collectible. Based upon the company’s HD-28V Vintage Series dreadnought, the entire instrument is created to be a “reversed” or photonegative image of a standard Martin instrument. To realize this impact, the guitar’s body and neck are completed in black, the bridge, fingerboard, pickguard, and headplate are made from white Micarta, and even details such as the saddle, bridge pins and heel cap are colored reverse of Martin’s standard. While radical in many ways, the guitar’s consultations also consist of standard herringbone trim, along with an abalone rosette and style-45 snowflake inlay of the fingerboard. The Acoustic Guitar 10th Anniversary logo is inlaid in the headstock in rare dark green heart abalone pearl, and the guitar’s interior label is personally signed by C.F. Martin IV and David Lusterman, founder of Acoustic Guitar.
