Martin first cataloged the nylon-strung N-20 in 1969 although they actually started building them in late 1968. The first year or so of production the guitar had a 25.4″ scale length, fan bracing and a squared-off standard Martin slotted headstock. Classical players didn’t take to that scale length, which is short for a nylon string guitar, so in 1970 Martin nudged the scale length up to 26.44″, which is more in keeping with the classical tradition. Martin also redesigned the headstock, giving it a pointed look that was more in keeping with the look of Spanish guitars.

Other specifications include:

  • Spruce Top
  • Brazilian Rosewood Back and Sides
  • Mahogany Neck
  • Ebony Fretboard
  • Same Model and Year as Willie Nelson's "Trigger"
  • Hard Case
  • #246188
