Elevate your tone and aesthetic with the stunning Martin CEO-11 Acoustic-Electric Guitar in New Horizons Blue Burst, a limited-edition masterpiece available at Irvine Art and Music, your trusted source for high-end guitars in Orange County. Limited to just 1,111 units worldwide, the CEO-11 is the visionary creation of Martin’s CEO, Thomas Ripsam—an instrument where sustainable design, masterful craftsmanship, and mystical symbolism converge.

This Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar blends FSC-certified European spruce for the top and multi-piece German white oak for the back and sides, producing a unique tonal character: rich midrange, resonant lows, and articulate highs. The forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing ensures open projection and dynamic responsiveness, while the flamed maple neck adds warmth, brightness, and exceptional clarity to every note.

Its eye-catching New Horizons Blue Burst finish and symbolic Indian yantra- and Unalome-inspired inlays set it apart visually as much as sonically. The ebony fingerboard delivers smooth playability and enduring sustain, while the Golden Era Modified Low Oval neck profile provides ergonomic comfort for both fingerstyle players and strummers.

Equipped with the premium Fishman Aura VT Blend pickup system, personally voiced to Ripsam’s tonal preferences, this guitar is equally suited for professional stage performance and studio recording. Whether you're an artist seeking inspiration or a collector pursuing exclusivity, the Martin CEO-11 is a limited-edition acoustic-electric guitar that will define your sound—and your legacy.
