"Frampton's Camel" Signature Edition.
The Martin D 42 Peter Frampton Signature Edition Acoustic Guitar features a superb combination of solid tonewoods for big, balanced dreadnought tone. The Adirondack spruce top is reinforced with scalloped, forward shifted 5/16" Adirondack spruce braces and matched to a back and sides of East Indian rosewood. The 1 11/16" (at the nut) low profile neck is genuine mahogany. Headplate, bridge and fingerboard are African black ebony.
Classic Martin Style 42 and Style 45 appointments abound, including colorful abalone Purfling around the top, fingerboard extension and rosette; black/white fine line Purfling on the sides, back, endpiece, heelcap, neck, and headstock; and grained ivoroid binding throughout (fingerboard and headstock included). A colorful Style 45 mosaic backstrip bisects the back, and original Style 42 (beginning at the 5th fret) snowflake position markers accent the fingerboard. Gold plated Waverly tuners with ivoroid butterbean knobs grace the polished headstock and a tortoise color polished and beveled pickguard protects the guitar's top. The body of the instrument is finished in flawless polished gloss, with vintage toner on the top to enhance its vintage look; satin finish on the neck provides exceptional player comfort.
To acknowledge the "Frampton's Camel" connection, a small camel in mother of pearl nestles beneath the Old Style Martin gold decal logo on the headplate. Peter Frampton's signature in mother of pearl appears at the base of the fingerboard between the 19th and 20th frets. Pearl inlaid bridge and endpins for this guitar are fashioned from genuine camel bone. The "Frampton's Camel" logo is etched on the neck block and also appears as a watermark on each guitar's interior label, which is personally signed by Peter Frampton and Martin Chairman C. F. Martin IV and numbered in sequence with the Signature Edition total. Comes with a Geib style hardshell case.
