A rare limited production Martin/Humphrey C.R. 1 classical guitar with original case.
This awesome classical guitar grew out of a collaboration between C.F. Martin and Thomas Humphrey. It feature Mr. Humphreys special design of a tapered body combined with a ramped fingerboard that’s up close to the strings for low action, while being well above the sound board for outstanding volume and tonal range. Made by C.F. Martin in Nazzarth PA not many of these guitars were made, and mostly by one Martin builder, Danny Brown who is now running Guitar Makers Connection. The Humphrey design is so complex that Danny pretty much built these guitars by hand.
The C1R features 000 size Classical body with rosewood body and western red cedar sound board, long 25.5'' scale, 2 1/16'' nut, Rosewood bridge and fretboard, Humphrey lattice bracing, rose pattern mosaic rosette, and Rosewood binding. Fret board is slightly radiused for very comfortable playing. Satin finish adds to the great tone on this guitar.
Condition of this one is excellent plus, with little sign of use, or any handling marks. It was obviously owned by a collector who didn’t play it.
This guitar comes with original Martin arch-top case.
I will also add this is by far the best smelling guitar I have EVER owned. |
