2,000,000 GUITARSand not one compromise.

Two Millionth

The two millionth guitar will feature a D-45 style body, with the back and sides constructed from Brazilian rosewood. The top is crafted from highly-figured bearclaw Engelmann spruce. But by far the most intriguing aspect of the guitar is the use of a watch motif to mark the milestone, replete with decorative gears, guilloché, a process of cutting geo-

metric patterns into metal, decorative turnings and a working watch embedded within the headstock.

In order to bring this idea to life, Martin recruited the help of one of America’s most notable watchmakers, Roland Murphy of RGM (rgmwatches.com). Chris Martin IV, Chairman and CEO of Martin Guitars,

instantly saw the value in what RGM brought to the table.

“The two millionth guitar is complicated, particularly because it incorporates an actual watch into the design. But once you’re excited, you sort of put aside the

hurdles that you have to jump over. RGM was a perfect fit because they’re in Pennsylvania and still make fine handcrafted watches in Pennsylvania.”
