Music

Do you hear marching snares in the distance? John Phillips Sousa, is that you?200 years after the inception of the experiment we've come to know as the US of A, the good folks in Nazareth, PA (roughly 76 miles up the road from Philadelphia's Independence Hall) paid tribute to our country's humble beginnings with the D-76. Sharing specs with D-35s of the era, this guitar sounds as warm as a pioneer's fire on the open frontier. The typical dot inlays of the era have been replaced with 13 stars, a nod to the 13 colonies that didn't want their tea taxed, or freedom axed. An eagle spreads its wings in the center of the headstock to remind us to boldly strum where no pick has strummed before. Also be sure to keep this thing away from Nicolas Cage, as there may or may not be a Declaration of Independence hiding within this limited run freedom cannon. And yes in case you were wondering, only 1976 of these were made. (#1418)Includes OHSC, with original warranty card and 70s Martin poster advertising the D-76.

The Martin D-76 is a limited-edition acoustic guitar made to commemorate the United States Bicentennial in 1976. The guitar features a Sitka Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, and a Rosewood fretboard. Its body shape is a traditional Dreadnought, known for its powerful and balanced tone.
