F. Martin" block letter inlay in abalone pearl and goldplated enclosed tuners with large gold knobs. Style 45 snowflake position markers are centered between F-9 Style white/black/white "racing stripe" inlays that run the length of the fingerboard. David Bromberg's signature is inlaid between the 19th and 20th frets.Classic grained ivoroid binding and elegantly mitered black/white purfling are everywhere on this guitar: top sides back headstock and fingerboard. The grained ivoroid end piece and heelcap display matching fine line inlays. The guitar is finished in polished gloss lacquer with aging toner on the top to enhance the vintage vibe. A polished and beveled tortoise-color pickguard protects the top.
