The two millionth guitar will feature a D-45 style body, with the back and sides constructed from Brazilian rosewood. The top is crafted from highly-figured bearclaw Engelmann spruce. But by far the most intriguing aspect of the guitar is the use of a watch motif to mark the milestone, replete with decorative gears, guilloché, a process of cutting geometric patterns into metal, decorative turnings and a working watch embedded within the headstock. In order to bring this idea to life, Martin recruited the help of one of America’s most notable watchmakers, Roland Murphy of RGM (rgmwatches.com). Chris Martin IV, Chairman and CEO of Martin Guitars, instantly saw the value in what RGM brought to the table.
