The CSN Gerry Tolman Special Edition Tribute is a classic Martin dreadnought - as functional as it is beautiful. Premium solid tonewoods are used throughout, including East Indian rosewood back and sides, an Engelmann spruce top, and genuine mahogany neck. These elements combine with forward-shifted 5/16" scalloped top bracing for rich, powerful tone. Bold herringbone purfling is placed around the top, and a Style 45 rosette with a center ring of select abalone adorns the soundhole. Fine black/white purfling goes around the sides, back and end piece, and a Style 45 multicolored mosaic back strip and grained ivoroid binding project graceful, timeless elegance. Adding to this Special Edition guitar's unique look is the African black ebony belly bridge with a single point at the bottom and pyramid wings. This rarely offered bridge, its matching black ebony bridge pins topped with abalone dots, and the vintage-style beveled and polished tortoisecolor pickguard complement the "old Martin" amber of the top. The flawless polished gloss lacquer body finish, satin neck finish, and bone nut and compensated saddle keep the focus on beauty, function and great sound. Each Martin CSN Gerry Tolman Special Edition Tribute features a special "CSN" commemorative laseretched neck block, an interior label plus a second tribute photo label of Gerry Tolman. |
