MARTIN CAR TALK SPECIAL EDITION GUITAR & CASE
-
A fine dreadnought guitar with Click & Clack's sense of humor showing clearly in the pearl inlays and on the pickguard. As you might guess from the Car Talk theme music, the Magliozzi brothers are Bluegrass fans. They had a band for a while with Tom on bass and Ray on guitar. Both are Martin guitar owners. - This signature model features back & sides of Indian rosewood, Engelmann spruce top with scalloped & forward-shifted bracing, ivoroid body binding with herringbone top trim, 45-style rosette. Low profile neck with 1-3/4" nut, ebony headplate with cartoon of the brothers in a dilapidated jalopy, position markers on the ebony fretboard are the parts and tools that they are trailing in their wake -_fender, muffler, tailpipe, battery, tire, and a wrench. Tom & Ray's signature is at the 20th fret. Tuning gears have car-shaped buttons, pickguard is printed with the Car Talk show credits.
