This Martin would have made Jim proud. We’ve seen heaps of Martin signature models over the years, but this 2001 D-21JCB seems to have stolen our hearts in a different way. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Sitka Spruce on top, and a 1973-minted dime inlaid into the third fret to memorialize Jim’s passing.

It’s a natural choice for picks, but we were surprised by just how much volume and tone we could coax out of the D-21JCB by fingerpicking. It’s not often we see a Dreadnought lend itself so well to both sides of the aisle. There’s extra juice in the trebles, and it’s a breeze to play. It’s in really stupendous condition, especially considering it’s from 2000.

#52 is waiting for the right person to come along to keep the music going. And it comes, appropriately, in a denim-covered TKL case in a final tip of the hat to Jim.

Other keywords: singer songwriter, bad bad leroy brown, time in a bottle

Like so many others, I was a great fan of Jim Croce growing up. In this guitar, with his picture and signature as well as the dime inlay for "Operator" is a wonderful tribute to the man and his music. The tone is much like his records, and the Brazilian Rosewood makes this a very collectible guitar as well. The denim-covered case is a very cool touch!
