C.F. Martin & Co

Martin Guitar Company Merle Travis Limited Edition Guitar

C. F. Martin "Merle Travis" Limited Edition D-28M Guitar

from Janet Davis Music - The Banjo Store

The D-28M Merle Travis Commemorative Edition is modeled after Travis’ original modified D-28 Martin, right down to the premium solid tonewoods. The back and sides are rare Madagascar rosewood, prized for its similarity in appearance and tone to the original’s now endangered Brazilian rosewood. The red (Adirondack) spruce top, the same topwood used in 1941, is matched to 5/16” forward-shifted scalloped braces for crisp, powerful tone.
