Martin Guitars is celebrating the 190th anniversary of C.F. Martin 1833 arrival in America from his native Germany.  To commemorate the occasion, the company is releasing a D-19 190th Anniversary model. Based on the rare D-19 that Martin offered as a limited edition in 1976, the guitar is built with mahogany back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top. Original D-19s had spruce tops that were stained dark, and the new D-19 190th Anniversary follows this tradition by using high-quality, but cosmetically imperfect tops that are given a figured mahogany appearance via the use of a Mimaki inkjet printer. In this video, Martin’s Executive Chairman Chris Martin introduces the guitar and gives a historical context of the D-19 and anniversary itself.
