Martin D-42 Peter Frampton "Frampton's Camel" Signature Edition

This D-42 features an Adirondack Spruce Top reinforced with scalloped, foward-shifted 5/16" Adirondack spruce braces, a low profile Mahogany neck, with a gorgeous set of Indian Rosewood chosen for the back and sides. Utilizing the superb combination of solid tone woods the D-42 offers a big and balanced dreadnought tone. 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 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.

"Frampton's Camel" includes the original Geib style hardshell case as well as an interior label signed personally by Peter Framton, Martin Chairman C.F. Martin IV, and sequence number with the edition total.

The guitar is mounted with the FISHMAN Infinity Matrix System
