Martin 000-45SS (2005) Stephen Stills Limited edition, #60 of 91, Case, Mint Another amazing guitar.. where do we deserve this too? A dead mint Martin 000-45SS the number 60 of only 91 made.. Why 91? well only 91 D45 were made in the golden era and Stephen Stills -whom i admire a lot and give great thanks to for all the inspiration he gave me over the years- has a thing with vintage Martin guitars. If you're from a later era, you still might remember Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, the utmost famous late sixties early seventies creative quartet of inspired singer songwriters who made historical albums. This 2005 000-45SS is one hell of a guitar and Stephen Stills second collaboration with Martin guitars, his first one, the D-45ss probably became the most hunted limited edition ever. (also 91 produced) It features a select grade 8 Adirondack Spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, all pre-war style-45 appointments, and it is considered one of the most precise recreations of the original 1930s 000-45 12 fret. With forward-shifted Adirondack Spruce bracing, providing the guitar with exceptional tonal qualities. Expected to be exceptional value, not only as an investment, but also as a player. the guitar is remarkably powerful, and has equally matured and balanced voice, notes ring out like playing a piano all over the fingerboard the ring with equal presence, clarity and rounded sweetness. The headroom seems limitless. This guitar must have been played, but it doesn't show, it's simply dead mint and virtually new condition. This is an inspiring guitar, signed by Chris Martin and Stephen Stills and definitely one of the best sounding signature limited editions Martin has produced.
