This Special Edition LX Realtree
model is sporting the Realtree Hardwoods HDTM
camouflage pattern incorporated into
a custom high-pressure laminate that is
used to construct the body and
headplate of this Little Martin guitar. As
the name suggests, the pattern
(developed by Bill Jordan) is designed to
mimic the look of the real outdoors. Bill
spent many hours developing and perfecting
the camouflage pattern.
Realtree's proprietary High Definition
printing process brings this pattern to life.
The camouflage pattern appears on the
headplate, top, back and sides. Using custom
high-pressure laminate for all of these parts is
a first for Martin. The Gotoh tuning gears and
strap button are finished in Cosmo Black,
which complements the Realtree Hardwoods
theme. A natural colored Stratabond neck
adds strength to the design.
Each instrument is
furnished with a custom
made Realtree patterned
backpack-style gig bag,
complete with an embroidered
"hunter's orange" C. F. Martin
& Co. logo. For more information, visit their web site at www.martinguitar.com. |
