This custom shop Martin has my jaw on the floor - there's such an unprecedented balance to its warm and bold tone. The slightest taper on the neck makes it fit comfortably right in the palm of your hand and the stylings of fingerstyle past just seem to make their way out. This guitar is perfect for the fingerstyle blues - and it's nice enough to a strummer that it will excel in many other applications. There's a warm, woody, and dry humility belting out of this beauty and the sound is absolutely enticing.
Condition: Very Good. Some pickguard scratches, but overall great condition.
This is a custom shop order. Sort of a "Golden-Era" 000-15 hybrid.
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.
