Commemorating the 180th anniversary of C.F. Martin & Co., the design of this 14-fret dreadnought is inspired by their early 1800s Martin models. In celebration of this momentous year are eye-catching custom inlays by Aulson along the fingerboard, bridge, and headplate, as well as special rosette and abalone pearl with black/maple/black fiber side inlays. The body boasts "45" style appointments and Golden Era features on an Adirondack top and Madagascar rosewood back and sides.

Each guitar's label is signed by Christian Frederick Martin IV and numbered sequentially.
