The Martin CEO-11 is a striking, limited-edition acoustic-electric that blends artistry and craftsmanship in a way only Martin can. Designed by President and CEO Thomas Ripsam, this Grand Auditorium (M) model features a figured white oak multi-piece back and sides paired with an FSC®-certified European spruce top, offering a rich, dynamic sound that’s both powerful and warm. The eye-catching New Horizons blue burst top and dark mahogany-colored sides create a look that’s as bold as the sound it creates. With a two-piece flamed maple neck, European flamed maple binding, and scalloped spruce X bracing, the CEO-11 invites you to connect with your sound and express yourself fully. It’s equipped with Fishman® Aura VT Blend electronics, custom-voiced to Thomas’ preference, ensuring that its tone stands out wherever you play. Limited to only 1,111 models, the CEO-11 is built for players looking to make a statement – sonically and visually. Each guitar includes a blue paper label signed and numbered by Thomas and a molded hardshell case.
