Martin Alternative XT



Use to be my most expensive piece.
Martin made one run of 170 of these and sold them all at the NAMM show a couple years back. Seen one or two on eBay.

The big Portland Martin dealer got one, but decided to sell it after a year. Just my bad luck. My second 'store bought guitar'.

Kinda weird because that pickup is like the loudest shrieking shred metal pickup that Dimarzio makes.
Got it cranked way down and it rings, but what were they thinking? Who knows.

Got it working on a Tele vibe with the right amp model.
