The Madagascar Rosewood Marquis offers all the design elements of C.F. Martin \u0026amp; Co.'s Golden Era instruments, but substitutes Madagascar for Brazilian Rosewood back and sides.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \r\n\r\nThe instrument features Golden Era scalloped, forward shifted Adirondack spruce braces, Adirondack spruce top, and Madagascar rosewood back and sides. Vintage-style Herringbone purflings, grained ivoroid bindings, zig-zag back strip, gloss Nitrocellulose lacquer finish. 1935 profile ebony bridge and fingerboard with long-pattern vintage diamond and square inlays. Fossil ivory angled bottom nut, glued-in through-saddle, and black-dot bridge pins; polished, beveled edge pickguard. Vintage-inspired modified V neck carve, 1-3\/4\" wide at the nut, 1930's style 'Dart' volute, 1930's style decal logo, Gotoh SE-700 open geared tuners with vintage finish, C.F. Martin \u0026amp; Co. stamp on the headstock rear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThis Marquis is has had a couple of years to open up and mature, and has done so remarkably well.  It's a dark and resonant flatpicker, with a strong rumble through the midrange.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \r\n\r\nOne ¾\" long suspect looking crack on the back that hasn't made its way through the finish, two minor dings on the treble side, otherwise a pretty much perfect example.  The action is fairly slinky as it's currently set up, and the guitar is very nice to play. Hard-hitters will want us to raise the set-up a bit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nWith original hardshell case\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"C.F.
