C.F. Martin & Co. pays tribute to

DAVID CROSBY

Martin Press release


David Crosby headstock Martin Signature Series ©

The headstock and rosette showcase some uniquely sumptuous
touches. Squared and tapered, the solid headstock is fitted with
vintage-style nickel Waverly tuners (with butterbean knobs) and overlaid
with polished black African ebony. The familiar “C.F. Martin” gold foil logo
arches above a schooner inlaid in pearl, a depiction of the boat Crosby has
sailed for more than 30 years. The Style 45 rosette features a vivid blue
paua shell inlay that shines against the richly colored vintage toner top.
