[NAMM] Martin LX Jimmy Buffett

As Buffett recently pointed out, the one namesake guitar Martin hadn't yet built for him was a "beach" guitar; a small, sturdy guitar to play at beach with friends and one that would bring that fun, carefree "beach" spirit wherever it went.

The Martin LX Jimmy Buffett guitar features a modified 0 14-fret shape and short 23-inch scale, with an HPL body matched to Sitka spruce top bracing, a modified low oval Stratabond neck, tropical hardwood fingerboard, and Micarta belly bridge. The LX Jimmy Buffett is fitted with chrome tuners, a Corian nut, and a compensated Tusq saddle.

Delivered in a fitted gig bag, each Martin LX Jimmy Buffett guitar bears an interior label with Jimmy Buffett's facsimile signature. A left-handed version of the LX Jimmy Buffett is available at no additional charge.

Availability
The LX Jimmy Buffett is an open-ended edition and will be available from authorized C.F. Martin dealers early in 2010.
