Full Description
View Full DescriptionFeaturing ''VTS Certified'' European Spruce, the new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. VTS acts much like a time machine, in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/brace to that specific era. This focused method allows Martin's experts to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.
