$13,999.00
The finery of the Victorian Era led to the the Edwardian period of relative peace and prosperity.
Roosevelt was President, Monet was still painting masterpieces, and Kipling wrote of Iron.
There was the first College football game, and the first movie theater opened in LA.
The Gibson Guitar and Mandolin company was incorporated that year but Martin already had a 65 year headstart.
To show their unparalleled level of expertise, this masterpiece of art and craftsmanship was created
Inspired by the original in the Martin Museum, we commissioned Martin to build some variations.
White Micarta and ivoroid were used instead of the original Ivory, and the back and sides are of more sustainable woods such as Madagascar or Quadamalen Rosewood The tops were torified ( a technique used by the Vikings to lighten and strengthen their ships) to pre age the sound
Modern tuning machines and a quality modern case are included
