2006 Martin 000-C Steve Miller Pegasus - 000 Acoustic-Electric Guitar. This guitar is very rare!!! It is #284 of #383. Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, is Miller's personal logo and appears on many of his albums and custom instruments. Really nice condition overall, with only a few dings (see photos), only cosmetic- structurally this one is great! Auction includes original CUSTOM CASE with blacked out hardware. INSTRUMENT WILL BE PRO PACKED AND SHIPPED via FEDEX GROUND. FLAT SHIPPING COST OF $40.00   The top of Engelmann spruce features Martin's Hybrid scalloped bracing while the back and sides are crafted from lightly quilted mahogany. This true 000 features the short 24.9-inch scale for lower string tension and the rounded Venetian cutaway provides easy access to the entire fingerboard that, as directed by Miller, has no position markers or signature. A chrome strap pin at the heel of the neck and factory-installed non-invasive Fishman "Ellipse Blend"™ electronics complete this 'Ready to Rock' acoustic instrument. The polished headplate showcases the "alternative" torch inlay that was first used in 1902. It reappeared nearly 100 years later on selected Martin Limited and Signature Editions including Steve's first editions models. Delivered in a special Geib™ style hardshell case with black interior and black hardware, each 000C Steve Miller Pegasus Signature Edition bears an interior label personally signed by Steve Miller, Martin Artist Relations Manager Dick Boak, and Martin Chairman C.F. Martin IV.Like his previous Signature Editions, the 000C "Pegasus" derives its beauty and tone from spectacular tonewoods, elegant appointments and subtle (and not so subtle) design elements. The 000C Steve Miller Pegasus Signature Edition clearly is a guitar built for comfort. This true 000 features the short 24.9 in. scale, which lowers string tension and shortens the distance between frets. The rounded Venetian cut-away provides easy access to the entire fingerboard.   The OM width fingerboard (1-3/4 in. at the nut) and low oval neck enhance fretting ease. A chrome strap button and factory-installed non-invasive Fishman Ellipse Blend System electronics contribute to stage or studio-readiness right out of the case. Superb solid tonewoods throughout result in impressive tone. The top of Engelmann spruce, prized for quick response and rich timbre, features Martin's Hybrid scalloped bracing. The back and sides are crafted from solid quilted mahogany with lightly quilted figuring, while the neck is straight-grained genuine mahogany. Enhancing the beauty of the woods are graceful inlays. A colorful abalone pearl rosette surrounds the soundhole, while fine-pattern herringbone purfling encircles the top. The backstrip features the multi-colored Style 45 mosaic, in this case bordered with fine black fiber lines. Both back and sides are bound with grained ivoroid and accented with black/white/black line inlays. Both the heelcap and end piece showcase matching grained ivoroid, the latter framed with black/white/black line inlays. The black African ebony fingerboard and headplate are bound with grained ivoroid and inset with black/white fine line inlays. The polished headplate showcases the exquisite "alternative" torch inlay, first used and abandoned in 1902, only to reappear nearly 100 years later on selected Martin Limited and Signature Editions (including Steve's first limited edition models). In keeping with Miller's preference, the fingerboard highlights the wood itself, unsullied by position markers or a signature. To match the headplate and fingerboard, the belly bridge and bridge pins are all crafted from black ebony, the latter 2 topped with pearl dots. Also matching is the polished and beveled black pickguard. Product Specs Condition: Make: Model: Finish: Categories: Year: Made In: United States
