From original Martin Catalog listing:

“Traditional Martin quality is reflected in these fine highly figured maple bodied instruments. Solid spruce tops are a perfect complement. Added features are gold tuning machines with distinctive pearl style buttons, pickguard and heelcap.  The new “Low Profile” neck is shaped to a thinner radius so you get more of an electric guitar “feel”. Fast play and easy action are the result. The new neck is also adjustable.”
