2006 Martin JC Buddy Guy Signature Model!
Lucky number 7! Here is one of the most unique and rare Martin guitars ever made. It’s a Buddy Guy JC cutaway Jumbo model and only 36 were made. Check out the beautiful blue turquoise inlays all over! The label is hand-signed by Buddy Guy and CF Martin IV. The guitar is in near mint condition with only the slightest traces of wear including a couple light indentations but very minimal. It’s a stunning guitar that is an excellent player as well. It’s a Martin after all! The guitar comes with the original case with some light stains on the outside tolex.
Model description:
But it is the appointments that really set the JC Buddy Guy Blues Guitar apart. Buddy likes polka dots on his guitars, and polka dots he got. The unique rosette features three five-ply black/white rings, the inner two flanking a ring of turquoise composite dots. Turquoise composite dot inlays also accent the black ebony belly bridge and the ebony bridge pins. The black ebony fingerboard provides the palette for a random "splash" of turquoise composite polka dots. Buddy Guy's "BG" initials serve as the position marker at the 12th fret, while mother of pearl dots, bordered in turquoise, mark the 5th, 7th, 9th and 15th frets. The black ebony headplate showcases the block letter "C. F. Martin" logo, also inlaid in turquoise composite.
This guitar showcases extraordinary purfling, even for a Signature Edition Martin. The top features seven-ply, differential width black/white purfling while the back is encircled by five-ply black/white fine line purfling. Black/white purfling accents the sides, endpiece, heelcap, headstock and fingerboard. To show off the purf ling to best advantage, the guitar is bound in grained ivoroid throughout: body, neck and headstock. A gloss finish on the body highlights the purfling; the neck sports a satin finish for playing comfort.
The JC Buddy Guy Blues Guitar is factory equipped with Fishman VT electronics. To simplify "on the fly" adjustments in the tradition of electric blues, the volume and tone knobs are mounted on the top, just below the bridge and the polished and beveled black pickguard. Delivered in a Geib style hardshell case, each Martin JC Buddy Guy Blues Guitar bears an interior label individually signed by Buddy Guy and Martin Chairman C. F. Martin IV and is numbered in sequence with the edition total.
