My source says similar to M-36 except figured maple back/sides/neck.
Made 1985 to 1995.
Last MSRP $2520

M body type 16” lower bout, 4 1/16” depth.

5 stripe bound body/rosette
Ebony fingerboard (unbound) with pearl dot inlay
Rosewood bridge & peghead veneer.
Tortoise pickguard.
Solid spruce top (of course)
Chrome tuners

Hope that helps.

Possibly re-issued as a “Guitar of the Month”, I can’t remember.


2nd source: The Martin Book: A Complete History of Martin Guitars, Walter Carter, 1995, ISBN 1-871547-79-2
states a few differences:
Body depth 4 1/8”
Soundhole rings 5-9-5 grouping
6 ply top binding
3 ply back with tortoise shell outer layer,
White bridge pins with tortoise dots,
Zipper pattern (horizontal row between two diagonal lines) backstripes.
Production: 110

When the M-64 was out, Martin also offered a more ornate version, the MC-68 with cutaway, oval soundhole, and upgraded inlay.
