Maybe they think there's money to be made off of us aging boomers. I think that marketing plan has worked out pretty well for them...

They've done special editions many times. This one is "Martin and artist Robert F. Goetzl have collaborated with David Crosby to produce a special-edition art guitar aimed at encouraging young people to actively participate in the nation’s election system."

But, but, but it's, and I quote, "one of the most historic moments in musical history." Someone please take my money! Ha ha.

Yup, it's marketing.
Gibson/Epiphone has been doing nutty stuff like this for years. At least the Martin themed guitars have something to do with music.

Given the pre-war "singing cowboy" guitars one could consider this sort of thing almost traditional by now.

Actually I think its a smart business practice -
its a so so guitar ( countertop plastic ) and moving something like that helps keep you solvent -they learned this with all that cowboy guitar clutter thats out their -im actually surprised that they havent put girls with swim suits on them , maybe WW2 Airplane paintings ( im betting they did do this somewhere - Think ive seen it , just cant recall where )
