Chocolate Mango from RC Tonewoods;
I had to snap these pics quick because the new owner was
there to pick it up & fly to Norway.
I restored a 1850 Martin a few years ago.
It was left in a barn for 50 years in the original coffin case.
I took measurements of it .
Then made some replicas.
except for the ice cream heel .
I made them for steel strings with the 25.4 modern Martin scale
X bracing etc...
They sell like crazy because of the size & tone.
My bracing is my own, as are wood thickness
It had C.F. Martin signature on the lower treble side of the top
on the inside of course
Piece of history !!!
