[NAMM] Martin & Co LE-Cowboy 2015

The Martin LE-Cowboy 2015 is a limited edition that will only be available until the end of the year. The non-cutaway folk guitar features a classical headstock but uses steel strings and Martin asked graphic artist William Matthews to design a cowboy portrait on the top.

The LE-Cowboy 2015, just like all the new Martin & Co guitars, benefits from the new VST Vintage Tone System that is based on classic torrefaction/aging system, which allows for recreating both visual aspect and tone of period-correct guitars.
