In this video, we look at a stunning pre-war Martin that has a dual identity and more interesting origins than its looks might suggest. Martin goes on to show us a stunning instrument by Rosie Haydenrych of Turnstone Guitars - showing where the state of the art in British acoustic lutherie is at. Along the way, Martin treats us to some beautiful playing and his seasoned thoughts on guitar tone and design.
