The Martin Custom Shop 00 14-Fret Sitka Spruce-East Indian Rosewood Acoustic Guitar provides a warm, balanced tone in a comfortable body size. Handcrafted in the U.S.A. using time-honored techniques passed down through generations of luthiers, this guitar is made for discerning players seeking an instrument with rich heritage and premium components. The solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides produce articulate highs, punchy mids and a tight low end.
Premium tonewoods resonate with full, balanced tone
The solid Sitka spruce top on this guitar provides clarity and projection, while the solid rosewood back and sides add warmth and depth. Together, these tonewoods generate a dynamic range of overtones and harmonics for a full, balanced tone. The scalloped X-bracing pattern underneath the top allows it to vibrate freely, enhancing resonance and sustain.
Comfortable Grand Concert body delivers rich tone
The Grand Concert body size provides a comfortable playing experience while still delivering the rich tone you expect from an all-solid wood acoustic. It's ideal for fingerstyle techniques or light strumming, with a balanced midrange and controlled low end. The modified low oval neck profile feels smooth and fast in your hands, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge offer a rigid platform for clear, sustained notes.
Premium appointments highlight artistry
With vintage-inspired appointments like the antique white heel cap, faux tortoise pickguard and Grover nickel tuning machines, this guitar highlights the Custom Shop's dedication to artistry. The abalone rosette and fingerboard inlays showcase masterful inlay work. It's a guitar meant to be admired for both sound and beauty, inspiring you to create music as timeless as the materials and techniques used to craft it.
