The gorgeous Martin CEO-8 features a torrefied solid Sitka spruce top, solid sycamore back and sides, and a 14-fret sycamore neck, all in a nice sunburst finish. The faux red tortoise pickguard has engravings of a purple martin and flowers. Other features include large pearl "Backslash" fingerboard inlays, an abalone soundhole rosette, an inlaid pearl “The Martin” logo on the headstock, and gold enclosed tuning gears with pearloid buttons. The inside label is signed by C. F. Martin IV and numbered without total. A beautiful addition to the Martin family of guitars.
