CF Martin Custom Centennial Dreadnought Cutaway Guitar with Fishman Electronics

This was a special run Limited Edition guitar by CF Martin during between 2010 to 2018 and based on their D16 series dreadnought guitars.

It is a well appointed guitar, with custom and deluxe features like a traditional full neck profile, gold hardware, full body and fretboard ivoroid cream binding, bone nut and drop in bone saddle. It's classic good looks and features resulted in a special guitar that are rare and hard to find. It comes with the Fishman Matrix VT electronics which works very well and is able to dial in great amplified tones.

The East Indian Rosewood body is beautiful with nice straight grains and paired with a a highly resonant sitka top. This is a very nice guitarwith minimal fret wear, low action, plays and sounds great. It gives my custom shop D28 Martin guitar some real tonal competition.

This was my first really nice guitar and I truly hate to part with it, but I need to thin out the collection since it's just not getting the attention that it deserves since acquiring a Custom D28 and D42 Dreadnoughts that I play in church services. My hope is that this guitar will bring the next owner the joy it brought me as I grew as an acoustic guitar player from when I acquired it from Guitar Center in January 2019 as the only owner.  

It comes with a Martin case and had been stored in a non smoking home and under proper humidity regulated and monitored conditions (~52% humidity in its case). This guitar is very clean an shows some signs of light surface wear from playing the guitar. Bottom Line: This an exceptional instrument in great condition and a great value.
