Martin / F-65 Hollowbody, 1964, RARE, EC / Guitar

The Martin F-Series were Martin’s first true electric guitars, although by no means Martin’s first archtop, the design reminiscent of the F series (non-electric) F-7 and F-9 archtops of the 1930’s. This double cutaway dual pickup 1964 F-65 with Bigsby tailpiece was the most expensive of the line. It features a honeyburst finish, laminated maple double cutaway body and top, mahogany neck which joins the body at the 14th fret, rosewood fretboard and a traditional Martin headstock and logo with three-per-side tuners. The F Series were the only Martin to ever use plexiglas bridges, possibly the only guitars ever to do so. (The reason plexiglas was used was that a Martin board member at the time owned a plexiglas factory and was keen to get into the guitar hardware business). It also uses DeArmond Dynasonic single coil pickups, identical to those used on many other guitars of the period but with a custom chrome cover and bobbin formed to fit the unique cutouts. These are extremely rare instruments, maybe not as collectable as some Fenders or Gibsons, but it's still an early/mid 60s electric from one of the biggest guitar Manufacturers in the world which makes it at least as special. Only 125 of these instrument were made in 1964. Frets of the instrument have been replaced. The rest of the guitar is entirely original and also includes the original hardshell case! Consignment sale. Condition is excellent, 9 out of 10 with playwear and signs of use matching it's age, no cracks or other issues, very clean guitar!  Model Features: Body shape Set Neck Double Cut Hollowbody Body Laminated Maple Top Laminated Maple Finish Honeyburst Neck Mahogany Neck Shape C Fretboard Rosewood Fretboard Radius 16" Bridge Plexiglass Tailpiece Bigsby Scale Length 630mm (24 13/16") Nutwidth 43mm (1 11/16") Weight 2.7kg Tuners Kluson Single Line Pickup DeArmond Dynasonic Travels in Original Hardshell Case Remarsk Used guitar with 1 year warranty

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
