Work of art it may be, but kinda hideous, quite gaudy in fact imo.

Shouldn't the Martin 2 millionth tribute guitar have had a CNC machine inlaid on the back and a PLEK machine inlaid on the front to reflect how the company is building today? Oh, and the binding hanging off.
Ops! did I just say that out loud?

I've seen that... that thing before. And am just as puzzled now as I was then. What's the connection with acoustic guitars and gears? I would be ashamed to be seen playing it and would need to be prepared with an explanation if I did.

It's a collaboration between Martin and a high-end watch company out of Lancaster, PA (~1 hour from Nazareth) As a big watch fan and guitar fan, I find this to be a cool piece of FUNCTIONAL ART.

If you are interested in this sort of art, go visit The Music Outlet in Sevierville, TN. They commission four or five of these each year, specializing in nature scenes with jumping fish and birds.

Will this Collaboration by The Fabled C.F.Martin Acoustic Guitar Company and a Notable Watch Maker Sell for 125K ? ONLY TIME WILL TELL! There are plenty of Wealthy Musician Collectors that could easily afford this Guitar. I Doubt you will see this in a Vince Gill collection! Or in the hand of any serious musician Guitar player with deep pockets! It is foremost a Mosaic piece of tremendous Art that just so happens to be a musical instrument.

Seriously though I for one applaud Martin for taking chances and trying to pique the interest of collectors of high-end items that may not be aware of collectable guitars. This guitar is aimed at people who love watches so the theme works for me... even though I personally like other themes better. Now in full transparency,... the more high-end guitar collectors the better for me! Harv
