Martin / 000-45SS Stephen Stills Limited Edition / 2005 / Guitar

The Martin 000-45S Stephen Stills Signature Edition was made in 2005 - in a production run limited to 91 instruments. Stephen Stills was a long time user and collector of Martin Guitars and already had a Martin D-45SS Signature Model (introduced in 1998). This Stephen Stills Signature Edition is based on the original 12-fret 000-45, uses the same select Adirondack spruce for the soundboard with 1/4" Adirondack spruce top braces forward-shifted and carefully scalloped for optimal tone. The mahogany neck is also faithful the original  000-45, measuring 1-13/16" at the nut, 25.4" scale length, modified V shape profile, square slotted headstock with the historic "C. F. Martin & Co." pressure stamped on the back, elongated diamond volute and old style pointed heel. Back and sides are made from  East Indian rosewood. Abalone pearl is used in the Style 45 body inlays: around the edge of the top, fingerboard extension, back, sides, end piece, neck joint and rosette. The body inlays are accented with mitered black/white wood fiber lines. Vintage depth grained ivoroid binding protects the top, back and sides. The back has a Golden Era Style 45 multi-colored mosaic backstrip. The rosewood headplate and the ebony fingerboard are bound in grained ivoroid and inset with mitered black/white wood fiber inlays. The headplate showcases "C. F. Martin" in Golden Era Style 45 block letters of abalone pearl, and Waverly Irving Sloane side mounted tuners with open gears, engraved mounting plates and ivoroid buttons. Style 45 abalone "snowflake" position marker inlays grace the fingerboard from the 1st to the 15th frets, with Stephen Stills distinctive signature inlaid in mother of pearl between the 17th and 20th frets. In the tradition of the original 000-45, the Stephen Stills Signature Edition has an ebony pyramid bridge. The non-compensated saddle, nut, bridge and end pins all are fashioned from fossilized ivory, with the latter two topped with black pearl dot inlays. Like the originals, this guitar is not equipped with a pickguard. Adding to its traditional appearance is the medium straw hue of vintage toner on the top and the rich brown of dark mahogany stain on the neck. Both the body and neck are  finished in polished gloss lacquer. Condition is mint. Includes 21% VAT (ex VAT price: 9158.33 Euro) Includes 1 year TFOA guarantee. Includes original hardshell case.      Model Features: Model 000 12-fret Body Indian Rosewood Top Adirondack Sparren Finish Natural Neck Mahogany Neck Profile Modified V Fretboard Ebony Fretboard Radius 16" Bridge Ebony Scale Length 645mm (25 3/8") Nutwidth 46mm (1 13/16") String Spacing 58mm (2 1/4") Tuners Waverly Irving Sloane Pickup x Travels in Original Hardshell Case Remarks

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
