NEW ARRIVALThis special edition Martin Ditson 111 is based on the first dreadnought guitar ever designed by Martin for the Oliver Ditson company in 1916. It has an Adirondack Spruce top with aged toner, Mahogany back and sides, and a modified V-shape 12-fret Mahogany neck with a slotted headstock. It features a tortoise pickguard, Ebony fingerboard and pyramid bridge, and engraved Waverly Sloane tuners with ivoroid buttons. The label is even signed by CF Martin IV. Playing the guitar is a very different experience, the body is about 1” longer than a modern dreadnought, and the neck is 1 7/8” at the nut. But if you can handle that, it’s one of the most responsive guitars I’ve played. The Adirondack top on this guitar gives off such great volume and power without sacrificing clarity even at higher decibels. You can get lost in the choir and complexity of tones. A seriously versatile guitar, it can handle the most gentle strumming and delicate fingerstyle to hard picked attack - country chords, jazz melodies, or bluegrass open runs. The guitar’s in excellent condition, with just signs of light playwear, and comes in it’s original deluxe Martin hardcase.
