Special label “Built for Norman’s Rare Guitars” signed by CFM. Does Norm know how to pick a sensational guitar?
Has to be the prettiest Martin we have had in store. 1935 Sunburst with Select Abalone Boarder and Rosette, Style 45 Snowflake inlays on a dark Ebony Fingerboard in Select Abalone. Phenomenal Blue Paua Shell Flower Pot headstock inlay. Striking selection of Abalone inlayed Tulip Tortoise style Pickguard. Another eye catching feature is the Gold Waverly Tuners with Engraved knobs.
The sound is as colourful as it is aesthetically. The 1/4″ Sitka Spruce bracing helps the Sitka Spruce Top sing. Attractive East Indian Rosewood Back and sides boarded with grained Ivoroid binding. Dark Ebony Belly Bridge with open slot saddle. Abalone dot inlay bridge pins.
Neck is a Modified V and feel fab. Has a few small impressions without lacquer loss. The top has two lacquer checks as this incredible Martin is now fifteen years old. Hope you get to place this incredible Martin in with your other prize possessions.
