1990 Martin – D-40 BLE Limited Edition #6 of 6 – ID 3039

Extremely limited Dreadnought by Martin and 1990 "Guitar of the month".
Here the number 6 of only 6 built copies as export edition.
A further 50 of these were sold in the USA.
This guitar was Jörg's main guitar when it came to composing.
Sounds warm and balanced, so best suited for studio recordings.
A pickup was subsequently implanted, the socket for which is located on the rear seatbelt pin.
Technically, the Martin is in top condition, visually there are a few deductions.
It was just very much liked and played a lot and used for many recordings.

Label Signed by Chris Martin and Mike Longworth
