2004 Martin D-18 Clay Hess Model

Many guitarists would love to have a guitar with their name associated with it - for Clay Hess, this is a reality. Clay plays one of only 25 Martin D-18 Clay Hess model guitars. They're made with a harder red spruce top, which he believes is the key to the guitar's great sound.

Check out this video to hear how Red Spruce is preferable to Sitka Spruce for Clay.
