This used Martin SS-GP42-15 from 2015 is a limited edition guitar built as a celebration of tonewoods. Featuring a VTS European Spruce top, paired with a high-flamed Koa back and sides, with a Madagascar Rosewood wedge, this Grand Performance build has a rich, full tone that suits any playing style. It's supported by the Golden Era-style Standard X-Scalloped bracing and comes equipped with Fishman's Aura VT electronics, so you have an open, dynamic amplified tone with a nice vintage feel to it. The neck is made from Mahogany and in Martin's Performing Artist profile, while the fingerboard is Ebony and features the gorgeous, continuous pearl Tree of Life inlay along it.
Loaded with high-end appointments, it's hard to ignore its gorgeous aesthetic: solid Madagascar Rosewood binding throughout; Style-42 black/Maple/black fiber top purfling; two-ring rosette; Style-45 Golden Era and 18-style black fiber back purfling; bone nut; white tusq saddle; and gold Grand tuners with butterbean buttons. Through and through, this Martin SS-GP42-15 is a phenomenal acoustic guitar and in very, very limited production. Includes a custom Geib-style hardshell case.
