Built to inspire creativity and celebrate the artistic journey, the Martin CEO-11 is a limited-edition acoustic-electric that fuses striking aesthetics with exceptional tone; available now at Haggerty’s music. Designed by Martin President and CEO Thomas Ripsam, this Grand Auditorium (M-14 Fret) model pairs a FSC®-certified European spruce top with a figured white oak multi-piece back and sides, delivering a robust, balanced voice with excellent projection and nuance. The top's New Horizons blue burst finish and rich, dark mahogany-colored sides create a bold visual statement, while the custom headplate inlay symbolizes the path of artistic growth and expression.

The flamed maple neck features a GE Modified Low Oval profile with a High-Performance Taper, ensuring comfort and speed across all 20 frets. With European flamed maple binding, bold half herringbone inlays, and a custom rosette, the CEO-11 showcases Martin’s commitment to visual artistry. Under the hood, forward-shifted GE scalloped X-bracing contributes to the guitar’s dynamic tonal character, and Fishman® Aura VT Blend electronics, voiced specifically to Thomas Ripsam’s preference, provide natural and inspiring amplified sound. Limited to just 1,111 individually numbered instruments, each CEO-11 includes a blue paper label signed by Thomas and a molded hardshell case for protection and presentation.
