Specs are from the pre-World War II era.
Old style squared headstock, modified V-shaped neck, period fingerboard inlays. C.F. Martin inlayed in pearl on the 19th fret. Of course, it has the 45 style trim of colorful abalone borders around all seams of the top, back and side edges, plus the perimeter of the fingerboard as well as the rosette. The ebony fingerboard and body are bound in grained ivoroid. The sound, well, this one's at the top of the heap.
