With its deep waist curve the guitar fits smaller than a Dreadnought, and offers a string to string response that is more balanced and even than a D and at least as loud.  All this makes for a very versatile guitar that excels at both fingerstyle and strummed styles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nIndian rosewood back and sides with Sitka spruce top, forward shifted and scalloped X bracing, long scale neck with modified low oval shape and 1-3\/4” nut.  The guitar is trimmed with elements of Style 45 and simplified body bindings for a classy and distinguished look that's not over-the-top in terms of flashiness, but has plenty of bling.  Multi-layered fingerboard and headstock bindings, vertical C.F. Martin logo in pearl, Style 45 Hexagon fingerboard inlays, and gold tuners complete the neck.  The body features a style 45 pearl ring rosette and mosaic back strip, style 45 back bindings, and unique 7-layer top purflings.  Bevelled tortoise celluloid pickguard, ebony bridge with bone saddle and abalone dot pins.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nWith deluxe hardshell case.\r\n","brand":"C.F.
