* The new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS system acts much like a
time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era. Learn more about Martins Vintage Tone System
(VTS) at www.martinguitar.com/VTS.
