"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.
