UNRESERVED. Serial#: 1035798. The goal of this collaboration between Martin Guitars and famed archtop builder Dale Unger (of American Archtop Guitars) was to create a high-quality, affordable archtop instrument aimed at working jazz players and archtop enthusiasts alike. (Dale oversaw the construction of these beautiful guitars which were built at the Martin factory in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.) The CF-2 offered the thinner 2 1/2" body with dual Seymour Duncan pickups. Made of Alpine Spruce and European Flamed Maple, this guitar is very versatile and works well for jazz and blues.

Although devoid of details such as inlays, the black micarta headplate contains a raised gold foil American Archtop logo and CF Martin & Co in gold script. An unusual Martin archtop that was in production briefly from 2004 until 2006.
