This 000-45S is a wonderful guitar in excellent condition. The story and representation of Stephen Stills legacy is paramount to this guitar, but it does not disappoint tonally. Martin took their time in crafting each of these guitars within the run of 91 instruments. This is number 66 of the 91 and is extremely resonant and a joy to play.
"The 000-45S Stephen Stills Signature Edition captures most of the design details of the original 12-fret 000-45, including the use of rare select Adirondack spruce for the soundboard. The 1/4” Adirondack spruce top braces are forwardshifted and carefully scalloped for optimal tone.
Carved from genuine mahogany, the neck likewise matches the original: 1-13/16” at the nut, modified V shape, square slotted headstock with the historic “C. F. Martin & Co.” pressure stamp on the back, elongated diamond volute and old style pointed heel. The 25.4” long scale provides power to complement the design's rich, balanced tone. Back and sides are crafted from select quality East Indian rosewood for rich and resonant bass response.
Select abalone pearl is utilized throughout in the Style 45 body inlays: around the perimeter of the top, fingerboard extension, back, sides, end piece, neck joint and rosette. In each case, the inlay is accented with mitered black/white wood fiber lines. Vintage depth grained ivoroid binding protects the top, back and sides, and this same handsome material also serves as the end piece and heel cap. A Golden Era Style 45 multi-colored mosaic backstrip bisects the back.
On the neck, both the polished East Indian rosewood headplate and the black African ebony fingerboard are bound in grained ivoroid and inset with mitered black/white wood fiber inlays. The headplate showcases “C. F. Martin” in Golden Era Style 45 block letters of abalone pearl, and Waverly Irving Sloane side mounted tuners with open gears, engraved mounting plates and ivoroid buttons. Style 45 abalone “snowflake” position marker inlays grace the fingerboard from the 1st to the 15th frets, with Stephen Stills distinctive signature inlaid in mother of pearl between the 17th and 20th frets.
In the tradition of the original 000-45, the Stephen Stills Signature Edition sports a black African ebony pyramid bridge. The non-compensated saddle, nut, bridge and end pins all are fashioned from fossilized ivory, with the latter two topped with black pearl dot inlays. Like the originals, this guitar is not equipped with a pickguard. Adding to its traditional appearance is the medium straw hue of vintage toner on the top and the rich brown of dark mahogany stain on the neck. Both the body and neck are flawlessly finished in polished gloss lacquer."
