We're proud to announce the arrival of two new Custom Artist Edition guitars: the Martin JSO! Sing Out Pete Seeger (6-string see SKU# H71003) and the Martin J12SO! Sing Out Pete Seeger (12-string). The guitars mark the 60th anniversary of Sing Out!, the magazine, songbook publisher and syndicator of traditional music radio shows that Seeger helped found in 1950. To mark this milestone, no more than 120 of these guitars are being built, signed by both Seeger and Martin Chairman and CEO Christian Frederick (Chris) Martin IV.For more than 70 years, Seeger has embraced and championed traditional American music, as a member of the Almanac Singers in the 1940s, the Weavers in the 1950s and recently, as a solo artist. The 12-String J12SO! is inspired by Seeger's personal 12-string guitars, the first two of which were custom built by Liverpool luthier and engineer G. Stanley Francis; with later, evolved versions crafted by Connecticut luthier Bruce A. Taylor.The J12SO! model has Martin's Grand Jumbo body style, built of solid woods. The top is built of Sitka spruce, East Indian rosewood on the back and sides, a genuine mahogany neck with unadorned black ebony fingerboard, and a polished East Indian rosewood headplate. The headplate includes the familiar gold C. F. Martin & Co. logo, as well as a banjo sketch drawn by Seeger and a replica of his signature inlaid in mother of pearl. The unique and distinctive triangular sound hole is surrounded by a black/white/black/white fine line rosette, and the top of the sound hole is encircled by bold herringbone purfling and grained ivoroid binding.Both models are finished with a polished gloss lacquer finishes, with aging toner on the tops to enhance their vintage style and are protected in Vintage Series Geib-style hardshell cases.Each of the limited edition (120) custom guitars will be numbered in sequence with the edition's total number produced.Since 1950, Sing Out!'s mission has been to preserve and support the cultural diversity and heritage of all traditional and contemporary folk music, and to encourage making folk music a part of our everyday lives.Model: J12SO sing out 60th Pete SeegerConstruction: mahogany blocks dovetail neck jointBody size: grand j-14 fretTop: solid sitka spruceRosette: single ringBack material: solid East Indian rosewoodSide material: solid East Indian rosewoodBinding: grained ivoroidTop inlay style: gold herringboneNeck shape: modified low ovalHeadstock: solid/diamond/square taperScale length: 27.5''Number of frets clear: 15Number of frets total: 21Fingerboard width at nut: 1-3/4''Bridge material: black ebonyBridge style: stauffer style pyramidTuning machines: Grover chrome enclosed w/ small buttonsPickguard: black - 2pc.

Carl Martin 3 Band Parametric Pre-Amp has been specially developed for musicians who play ACOUSTIC GUITAR, VIOLIN, ACCORDION, DOUBLE BASS, etc. These musicians often use combo amps and do not find the use of 19 inch rack equipment very practical. Experience has shown us that these instruments often require a high quality EQ and balanced line driver. Carl Martin have integrated those features into a handy stomp box format. For maximum flexibility, Carl Martin found it necessary to create a high quality 3 band semi-parametric EQ. Carl Martin 3 Band Parametric Pre-Amp works equally well for tweaking the sound of electric guitars, basses and other electronic instruments as well as for direct studio recordings. The 3 Band Parametric Pre-Amp has a built in regulated (+-12V) power supply which enables Carl Martin to design circuitry of the highest quality with maximum headroom. Minimize
