July 28, 2004

(Click for a close-up)

A task team at Martin was formed to create a guitar inspired by traditional American "tattoo" art, resulting in the Limited Edition Tattoo model that features "tawny satinwood" HPL back and sides, an HPL top with imprinted graphics created by Robert Armstrong, and a natural Stratabond neck.

Each guitar is furnished with a special dark brown leatherette case with traditionally embossed faux leather tooling and mauve plush interior. In addition, a tattoo themed strap specially made by Jodi Head Custom Guitar Straps accompanies each instrument.

List Price $1299.00.
