The Paul Simon Limited Edition from Martin Guitars is full of good Karma, after all it benefit The Children’s Health Fund which Paul Simon co-founded. It is also one of the very few things Paul ever endorsed. He worked closely with Martin to determine the specs and decided on a OM body with forward bracing, adorned with 42 Style appointments, Paul Simon inlaid on the last fret, label signed by Paul Simon, Tortoise bindings on the body and neck and a customized fingerboard that starts at a 1 11/16″ nut but is wider than most up high to facilitate fingerstyle. The tone from the Rosewood and Sitka Spruce body is clear and open with shimmering overtones. This Martin Paul Simon guitar is perfect for fingerstyle play. Only 223 of these were made, so it’s a very limited edition as well.
