Specialist note

As a longtime supporter of The Rain Forest Alliance, Sting required that his guitar be constructed from materials that would have no negative impact on the world's diminishing rainforests. These classical guitars incorporate the designs of master luthier Thomas Humphrey and the team at Martin. They are all constructed with SmartWood Certified tonewoods that are harvested in compliance with standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council.
