The limited-edition models feature an Ambertone shaded top and include Fishman’s Matrix VT Enhance electronics.

There’s no word on pricing, availability or additional specs yet - and they’re so new, we can’t even find them on the Martin website yet - but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we hear more...
