Produktbeschreibung zur „000-18 1955 CFM IV 70th“ Martin 000-18 1955 CFM IV 70th limited Nummer 18 von 70 Stück weltweit Das aging ist wie bei einer refinished Gitarre, der Lack ist Hochglanz, die Macken sind unter dem Lack ohne ‚Dellen‘ im Holz Inspired by a 1955 original, this limited 000-18 honors Chris Martin IVs 70th birthday with reclaimed spruce, vintage-style details, and focused tone—a historic tribute to tradition, innovation, and the folk music era. To mark Chris Martin IVs 70th birthday, were proud to introduce the 000-18 1955 CFM IV 70th—inspired by an original 1955 000-18 recently acquired at auction. That guitar, serial number 145102, was part of Heritage Auctions Guitar Shop Collection and bears the marks of a life well played. 1955 wasnt just a milestone year for the Martin family—it was the dawn of the folk boom, a movement that would forever shape the sound of American music and launch the company into its next great chapter. This all-new limited-edition model captures the essence of that mid-century Martin with the unmistakable tone and feel of a true classic. The gloss 000 body, crafted with mahogany back and sides, delivers a warm, punchy midrange and bright treble response. The top is made from reclaimed spruce sourced from land- and water-salvaged old-growth trees from Alaska, including wind-felled trees, dismantled log bridges, and massive logs once used in barge ramps and log floats that supported historic logging operations. This marks the first time Martin has used this unique, sustainably sourced spruce. Printed to replicate the worn look of the original 1955 model, it produces a clear, even tone and adds a rich layer of history to the voice of the instrument. Paired with non-scalloped Sitka spruce X-bracing, it offers a precise, focused sound that sings with clarity and control. The FSC-certified rosewood fingerboard features mother-of-pearl 1955 Style 18 dots, while the satin select hardwood neck with a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile provides smooth, comfortable playability. Vintage-style Kluson Waffleback nickel tuners complete the look, blending vintage style with reliable precision. Limited to 70 guitars, each includes an embossed paper label hand-signed by Chris Martin IV, its a fitting tribute to Chris dedication to quality, tradition, and innovation.
