Relationship with the Original: It has no relation whatsoever to the famous American guitar manufacturer "C.F. Martin." There is a historical anecdote that the company was sued by the original manufacturer over trademark rights because it adopted a "vertical logo" (with the brand name written vertically on the headstock) that closely resembled the original's logo at the time. Details of Model W-250N Specifications: The design mimics the dreadnought (D size) of the original Martin. The "250" in "W-250" indicates that the selling price at the time was 25,000 yen. A unique feature is the adoption of the same design for the fingerboard position markers as the Guild "D55" model. Sound Evaluation: Although often treated as an inexpensive copy model, it was meticulously crafted by Japanese artisans of the time, and it is known for its sound projection and power. It is now cherished among enthusiasts as a "Japan Vintage" item. Market Value (Estimate) In the used market, this model is often traded for around 20,000 to 30,000 yen, depending on its condition. Compared to the original Martin, which can cost hundreds of thousands to millions of yen, this can be considered a very cost-effective guitar. - Model Name: Pro Martin W 250N - Type: Acoustic Guitar - Features: Mark on the soundhole #ProMartin #JapanVintage Thank you for looking.
