Description
Presenting the first of our Martin Custom Shop guitars. We made the trip to the factory and hand selected the wood sets, style and design! We expect the instrument to be completed around October of 2026. There are obviously a lot of specs but please review the summary which is above the highly detailed list.
This is listed as a pre-order until built. Full list price is $7,299.00. A deposit can be taken to claim this build.
Martin M/0000 Custom Shop: we found inspiration in the wood that spoke to us when we were there. The Bastogne walnut back/sides and Sinker Redwood top really popped out. The appoinments are inspired by Mark Knopler's rosette. The goal was warmth, with no comprimise to look and sound.
They will feature hand selected premium Bastogne walnut back & sides, and a sinker redwood top (see pictures). Golden era hand shaped bracing, 45 style appoinments, the gold "old style" inlay on the headstock and many, many more beautiful detailed appointments as well as the upgraded 5-ply case & COA.
