Martin SSC-D35 Canada Limited Edition Prototype (1 of 1) 2014 Natural w/OHSC

Description

Put down your hockey stick and toque ya hoser! Martin has designed a guitar for you: the discerning, yet polite, Canadian guitar player. Tonally as sweet as maple syrup, this special limited edition Martin flexes every ounce of Canadian pride you have while still sounding distinctly Martin.

Martin says:

Offered as a 2014 NAMM Show Special exclusive to the Canadian marketplace. Designed in collaboration with Martin’s Canadian distributor, Kief Music, the SSC-D35-14 features a Canadian red spruce soundboard with certified cherry sides and back wings with Pacific big leaf flamed maple center wedge. The cherry is toned in red, giving the illusion of the Canadian flag and logo. A matching maple heel cap includes a laser engraved maple leaf. An uncirculated Canadian beaver nickel is inlaid and encased as ornamentation for the ebony veneered headstock.
