Sold! - Martin Ltd Ed 'Felix the Cat'

Second-hand

This custom, limited version of Martin's Little Martin LXM features original Felix The Cat graphics from the studio of Don Oriolo, renowned artist, composer, arranger and son of Felix's co-originator, Joe Oriolo.
Starting at the top, the headstock is jet black with a white Martin logo and Don Oriolo signature, the famous laughing Felix face and red Felix the Cat logo. The matching jet black body has 11 smiling Felix faces looking every which way surrounding the soundhole, with the bottom one looking right at you! A large, red Felix logo sits between the soundhole and the bridge, and below the bridge, a full-body laughing Fellx stands with arms outstretched in delight. You can't help but smile back.
The overall result is a striking and irresistible companion to the first two Felix editions. Fun. Colorful. And if it's anything like its predecessors, very collectable.
Since the early 1900s when he first pawed his way into the homes and hearts of kids everywhere, Felix The Cat has remained one of the most enduring and endearing cartoon characters in history. To his legions of fans worldwide, however, Felix is more than a nostalgic piece of Americana—he's an attitude, a philosophy of fun and sly wit, a faithful friend who can always be counted on for a chuckle and a surprise. He's the perfect spokescat for one of Martin's most fun and versatile instruments.
The Felix II Little Martin combines a compact "0" tenor—shaped body with an adjustable, modified low oval 14-fret neck and a 23" scale. And while it is an ideal guitar for travel, practice or student use, it is still very much a Martin in tone and quality, built with state-of-the-art technology and materials.
The top, back and sides are constructed of black HPL (high pressure laminate) materials for durability; the top and back are reinforced with Sitka spruce braces for tone. The easy to play neck is constructed of Stratabond multi-ply wood laminate and features a black Micarta fingerboard, bridge, nut and saddle. Quality Gotoh "Cosmo Black" tuning machines imprinted with the CFM logo are used to hold the genuine Martin phosphor bronze strings (absolutely no cat gut is used).
