Vintage-Inspired Appointments and a Personal Touch

The ebony bridge and fingerboard provide a smooth and responsive playing surface, enhancing the guitar's tonal clarity and sustain. A unique embossed paper label, hand-signed and numbered by both Julie Heffernan and Martin CEO Thomas Ripsam, adds a personal touch to this limited-edition masterpiece. The aluminum side dots and abalone fingerboard inlay further enhance the guitar's visual appeal, creating a harmonious blend of artistry and craftsmanship.
