Suburban Man

This is one of the Martins that was produced in the late 80's (This one in 1989) with part assembly overseas and final assembly in the USA. There were only a couple of thousand of these made, so it is something of a rarity

It has a solid spruce top and rosewood fingerboard

Scale length is 25.4" and the nut is 1 11/16"

As delivered from the factory these were fitted with passive under-saddle pickups.  This guitar has recently had a complete overhaul (from Richmond Guitars) with worn frets replaced, fretboard cleaned and a new Fishman under-saddle pickup fitted.

The guitar comes with a 'Schatten mini pre', which has the high input impedance that you need for these pickups.

Please check the photos for the condition of the guitar.  It has been played regularly and is now over 30 years old, so it is definitely 'road worn' but the tone has aged beautifully as well.

Pretty much 'as new' Fender Jaguar, the 'Ben Gibbard' version, natural gloss finish, comes in a Fender gig bag

The contoured, chambered ash body keeps the weight down to just under 3.5kg and as standard the pickup switching is a three-way rotary in place of the tone control
