Description

The 000-11E Craig Thatcher retired but may still be available at a dealer near you. 

You can’t talk about the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, music scene without mentioning the name Craig Thatcher. To honor the longtime Martin clinician and ambassador, guitarist, songwriter, and local music legend, Martin is proud to release the limited-edition 000-11E Craig Thatcher acoustic-electric guitar. This artist model features a body made of solid satin sapele back and sides and a solid figured sapele gloss top in a deep natural cherry hue, accented by fine herringbone trim and antique white binding. With only 35 examples available, this 000-11E is as unique as it is versatile, with satin tuners, snowflake inlays, and a natural, undyed ebony fingerboard and bridge. “Craig and I have traveled the world together, telling the Martin story. I talk and he plays,” says Chris Martin IV. “Craig worked closely with our team in Nazareth and Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico, to make this guitar happen. I think it’s pretty cool.” Craig's passion for this instrument is palpable – he designed it from the ground up, inspired by his love for light, punchy tonewoods like premium figured sapele and the classic appeal of herringbone trim. From the first strum, you'll feel the connection to Craig’s musical legacy and the craftsmanship of Martin’s dedicated team of artisans.
