Martin Guitars Car Talk Special Edition: Only Plays "Fast Car" By Tracy Chapman

June 27, 2008
Martin Car Talk Special Edition At Summer NAMM

Nearly everyone who owns a guitar has had their share of car trouble (except for Sonic -- a car would only slow him down), so a Car Talk Special Edition acoustic guitar from Martin doesn't really need any additional justification for its existence, but did you know that Click and Clack are also accomplished bluegrass musicians?

We took a look at the Car Talk Special Edition, and tried to make out the names of all the people involved with the making of the show listed as engraved on the guitar's pickguard*.



*Reading it was like trying to discern some sort of ancient, Chinese secret, huh?
