"Martin Love"
Martin Love looks like a chocolate confectioner's dream. This is Old World hand craftsmanship at its best, a collector's or musician's piece, using no computerization or chemical finishes in its making. The body and headstock were crafted from Honduran rosewood burl (HRB) heartwood, with a contrasting fretboard, bridge, and pick guard of ziricote wood. "Martin Love" comes mounted on a ziricote base, and encased in a glass dome.
