Martin Jimmy Buffett Custom Signature, Black Overview
The Martin Jimmy Buffett Custom Signature is about as exquisite as guitars get. Made to the specifications of the legendary country singer, it's probably the best looking acoustic you can buy. That's brought together by its sleek, all gloss-black finish and ivoriod binding, creating an aesthetic that will demand audience attention. Capped off by its iconic palm tree headstock inlay, this guitar has the grace of a gentle tropical breeze.
And just wait until you hear it. Crafted by the master luthiers at Martin, this custom signature model provides you with an almighty voice and a sparkling tonal clarity. That's thanks to its imposing dreadnought body shape, and luxurious blend of rosewood and Adirondack spruce to give you the highest quality materials and performance. And for those times when the natural acoustic muscle isn't quite enough, a Fishman Gold Plus natural pickup gives you the amplification to command the stage.
