What We Think
Condition: Used, Very Good
I love a 12-fret dread, and this Martin Custom Shop build only confirms that admiration. The stripped-down look lends this guitar a handsome workhorse aesthetic, with ivoroid button tuners and binding, a 28-style back strip and minimal mother-of-pearl dots the only bits of flash. All that minimalism seems intent to make a fine point: This guitar is meant to be played. And it plays very well. It gives you all the full-bodied bass, wide-open midrange and snappy treble expected from a rosewood dreadnought, and the exquisite Sitka top holds the sound together poetically, offering both pristine clarity and plentiful overtone potential. A low-profile neck combined with a wider-than-average nut width invites expressive left-hand play, and the neck's sheen finish presents a fast and comfy feel slotted between satin and gloss.

About Manufacturer
For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
