Martin D41 Purple Cocobolo Acoustic Guitar (with Case)

No longer available at zZounds
Named after a gorgeous bird, the Purple Martin D41 is equally striking with cocobolo back & sides and its artistic pickguard, fretboard, and bridge designs.

The purple martin is the largest North American swallow and produces sounds that have been described as "throaty and rich," much like the limited edition guitar that bears its name.

A favorite theme of Chris Martin's, the 2015 version is the second in a series of Purple Martin Limited Editions. Features include richly colored cocobolo back, sides, and headplate, a premium grade Adirondack spruce soundboard with scalloped 5/16" width Martin X-bracing, and Style 41 inlay around the perimeter of the top and circumference of the rosette.

The black pickguard as well as the ebony fingerboard and bridge are all inlaid with an artistically rendered and dramatic Purple Martin motif. The interior label is personally signed by C. F. Martin IV and numbered in sequence with the edition total.
