The smallest and fanciest of the Ditson guitars made by Martin was originally
known as Ditson st yle 1-45, although at only 11-1/4" wide, its body is really
much smaller than Martin's standard size 1. In later years, collectors have
referred to this size as the "baby Ditson." It appears that only four of these
top-of-the-line style 45 instruments were made, making this the centerpiece
of any Ditson/Martin collection!
