EC, one of 32 guitars (4 in size 2) made by Martin for teacher / performer Vahdah Olcott-Bickford and mostly sold through Ditson. Distinguished by the unique tinted spruce top, Brazilian rosewood sides and back, ebony fretboard with no inlays and ivory (?) neck binding with side dots, ebony pyramid bridge, 6-ply binding around top, 5-9-5 soundhole rings, Brazilian rosewood peghead overlay with ivory (?) trim, ''OLCOTT-BICKFORD / ARTIST MODEL'' decal and offset ''GROVER PAT,'' banjo tuners with ivoroid buttons, this guitar was ordered (in the Martin records) with light bracing. Ivory strap holder missing from back of headstock. . Bickford had always played Style 42 and 45 Martins and envisioned a guitar without the abalone trim but with the same quality as the pearl Martins. A very rare and collectible guitar (see the Chinery book for another of these), it is currently strung with silk and steel strings. ~12-1/8'' lower bout, ~24-9/16'' scale length, ~1-13/16'' nut width.
