Martin Guitar introduces the M-21 Steve Earle Custom Edition

Like Martin Style 21s of the past, Martin's new M-21 Steve Earle Custom Edition blends Style 18 and Style 28 appointments, plus a few unique to Style 21. The rosette and checkerboard backstrip blends with the subtle top and back purfling and tortoise-color binding. The polished headplate frames the Old Style gold C.F. Martin logo decal and Waverly nickel tuners with butterbean buttons give the headstock a decidedly “old school” look. The fingerboard features Style 28 position markers becoming progressively smaller from the 5th to the 17th frets, and the “black with white dots” bridge pins and end pin also are Style 21.

The polished and beveled Delmar nitrate pickguard and aging toner on the top complete the instrument’s vintage-inspired style. The body showcases Martin’s flawless polished gloss lacquer finish: the neck receives a satin finish for player comfort.

Delivered in a blue molded hardshell case, each Martin M-21 Steve Earle Custom Edition guitar features an interior label personally signed by Steve Earle and Matt Umanov, numbered in sequence without a total. Left-handed instruments may be ordered at no additional charge: factory-installed electronics and a sunburst finish are extra-cost options.

Authorized C.F. Martin dealers will begin accepting orders for the M-21 Steve Earle Custom Edition immediately and dealers participating in this “unlimited” edition will be posted on the C.F. Martin website.
