HD Elliot Easton Custom Artist Edition. Easton asked Martin to build his dream guitar: dreadnought body, Adirondack spruce top, scalloped Adirondack spruce braces, rare quilted mahogany back and sides, fine herringbone trim around the top and rosette, modified “V” neck with diamond volute, gold Waverly™ tuners with butterbean knobs, ebony bridge and fingerboard, long pattern “diamonds & squares” position markers, the “Old Style” Martin decal on the headplate and polished gloss lacquer finish throughout. He also wanted the guitar with “stage ready” electronics, so as requested, the Fishman Ellipse Aura™ system (release date of August 2006) will be available as a factory-installed option. Mounted inside the soundhole, it eliminates the need to cut into the side of the guitar and allows the instrument to retain all of its aesthetic charm. See press release for more information.
