Martin D-Robert Goetzl 1 Acoustic Guitar - Custom Hand Painted

Serial Number: 2459476

Weight: 4.4 lbs

At the request of Chris Martin, artist Robert Goetzl was commissioned to design a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork and hand paint it on the top of a Dreadnought style guitar, specifically an HD-28. Unlike the many art guitars offered by the company, which are printed with custom artwork using a state-of-the-art Mamaki printer, this guitar is available for purchase with artwork that is hand-painted directly on the soundboard. The Hops and Barley theme was a suggestion made by Tim Teel, Martin’s Lead Instrument Designer, who also selected a new sinker redwood, which came from a river in the North Western United States, as Goetzl’s canvas. The sinker redwood top is paired with high-figured black walnut back and sides, and the combination produced a light-weight guitar with a responsive and rich sustain that is great for both fingerstyle and strumming. This one-of-a-kind instrument is as beautiful to see as it is to hear.
