Description

The elaborate limited-edition D-200 Deluxe acoustic guitar features rare pre-CITES Brazilian rosewood back, sides and headplate for luxurious tone and playing feel. Unmatched in workmanship and beauty, the highly collectible limited-edition D-200 Deluxe acoustic guitar is limited to only 50 guitars, each furnished with an elegant, wearable timepiece from Roland G. Murphey (RGM) bearing a matching serial number. C.F. Martin & Co collaborated with the renowned watchmaker to design and produce this unprecedented instrument to celebrate Martin’s two millionth serial number milestone after 184 years in business.

The guitar’s unique design is intended to symbolize the passage of time with a watch theme, sharing design elements with its accompanying timepiece. Martin and RGM pulled out all the stops with this gorgeous acoustic guitar, which is as much a work of art as it is a precision instrument. Handcrafted decorations adorn the D-200 everywhere, including a spectacular inlay on the back with watch gears cut from stone, mother-of-pearl, bloodwood, Hawaiian koa and ebony. The soundboard inlays feature a minute track in mother of pearl, birdseye maple, flamed Hawaiian koa and ebony, and a pickguard with pearl inlaid watch gears. Lastly, each guitar comes in a premium aluminum Zero Manufacturing attaché case with a built-in hygrometer that allows the interior environment of the case to be seen without the need to open the case.

Totally Worth It

Initially, my wife was upset that I sold our three children into slavery to buy this, but when she hears my rendition of Stairway to Heaven on it...well...let's just say she physically drags me to our bedroom. She left on a trip with her mother to see if she can locate our kids in Honduras so I was home, just me and Betty. I named her Betty because I can play a few mean Doobie Brothers songs. Anyway...while my wife was away, I may have had two, or maybe fourteen too many Jaegermeister shots and I had this brilliant idea. I thought, I could really get a great tone if I put a Floyd Rose on this beauty. My dad has this awesome set of tools and I knew it would be a simple upgrade. Apparently the wood they used on the top isn't strong enough to withstand a three inch router bit...wish that was clear in the owners manual. Long story short, after a lot of epoxy and duct tape, I now have the most rad acoustic guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo on the planet. My wife never came back from Honduras, but it's not all bad, neither did my mother-in-law. I'm not lonely, I have Betty and whenever I get longing for a woman's touch, I simply take Betty to the local coffee house, play a rocking rendition of More Than Words and problem solved. Thank you Martin, the Limited Edition D-200 Deluxe Acoustic Guitar has changed my life! Pros: Goes well with my steampunk glasses Here Comes The Sun basically plays itself Chick magnet Cons: Not pre-routed for Floyd Rose Ernie Ball Super Slinky 8's don't fit well Not a family friendly guitar

Bad.

At first, I figured killing my parents as requirement by the mob was a small price to pay for such a beautifully shaped firework-holder. The gears, I assumed, represented firework explosions. I also believed that this particular firework-holder was 10 feet high. Turns out it's only 3 feet in length. But I did not know that when I ordered 975 of them without any research. I have tried everything with this holder, and here are my results. Bad for fireworks, as it will just blow up. The explosion triggered my PTSD, from back in 1453, when the Vietnam princess assassinated the 93rd president of the USA, George Bush. I served in this war at the age of 67. Now, at the age of 53, I'd like to think that I could have a firework-holder that does not bring back these memories. But that's simply not possible, I guess. After finding blood on the next guitar, rather than report it, I injected what I could into my upper thigh. Wish they would have warned me that injecting what turned out to maple syrup that I had poured on it myself with a rusty needle that I found in Africa would result in me contracting an unknown African disease. After being told to stay in the hospital, having an episode from Vietnam, and trying to get out, I discovered the incredible quality of its zip lining skills. Strong enough to hold ME, a premature 3 year old 23 pound baby. Probably its only good use, other than my next subject, napkin. After getting on the ground I noticed I still had some maple syrup on me, and I tried using it as napkin. Worked good, but then I found more blood on the guitar, which may have been the maple syrup that I had just wiped on it. Guess I'll never learn, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I am 2 years old after all. After you-know-what went down in Africa, and all those orphans had euthanized and taxidermied, I was going to faint. I needed a pillow but all the stuffed orphans were taken, so I tried using the holder as a pillow. Not good. This fetal baby was not satisfied

    even though this placemat was slightly expensive, it was worth the investment. after ripping the strings off, the hole is the perfect size to hold my bowl or plate. it also gave me a very nice sight to see while i ate. after i finish eating, i can use the same hole to collect all of my crumbs. unfortunately, i learned the hard way that it is not dishwasher safe. if it were able to survive the dishwasher, it would get a higher review.

    After playing my Rouge RA-090 for the past 3 years it was time to upgrade. The Martin sounds great but it a close run with my rouge 090 . All my homeless friends love this guitar.

  • This Guitar Costs More Than My House

    This guitar cost more than my house. Which I have since sold to help fund the purchase of this beauty (along with all my savings, of course). I would definitely get another one if I had another house to sell. I think the best part is that it stays in tune really well. Like... really well. Don't let your assets get in the way of having this AXE. Sell it all - it is definitely worth it. Again, the tuning is rock solid.

  • Perfect beginner guitar!

    After working 108 years in a counterfeit Nike factory in south Eastern Asia, I was finally able to purchase this guitar. When it arrived, I felt like a king until I realized I couldn't play guitar. After spending 8 months, trying to learn Smoke on the Water, I gave up. I took the thing and smashed it on the ground. You would think I would give a low rating on this guitar; however, my bonfire has been fueled and running great since 1776 A.D.

  • buy it.

    Does it sound good for the price? All that inland now makes it a laminated guitar

    1) Yeah, Rosewood is nice. 2) I don't think a luthier would agree.

    Can someone please tell me how many gold bars are included in the case with the guitar? I just want to be able to check the spot price for gold to see if this is a good deal before I buy. Couldn't find the gold content listed anywhere on the specs. Thanks!

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    It's not a good metric. The price of gold is always fluctuating.

    if you can afford $140K on a guitar - why aren't paying more in taxes? This is a disgraceful example of why the US is rapidly failing. CORPORATE EXCESS
