2016 Martin Custom Shop 000-45 GUATEMALAN Rosewood ITALIAN Alpine Spruce!
How can you not love a 45-style Martin? Elegant, timeless, and built with some of the finest tonewoods available. This 2016 Martin Custom Shop 000-45 is truly the top of the line and is an exceptional example of Martin craftsmanship.
This one features beautiful Guatemalan Rosewood back and sides paired with a sweet-sounding Italian Alpine Spruce top. The result is a wonderfully balanced and resonant instrument with beautiful overtones, excellent clarity, and the kind of rich, complex voice that makes these high-end Martins so special.
This is a 14-fret 000 body style with all the classic 45-series appointments including abalone inlay throughout, snowflake fingerboard inlays, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and a teardrop pickguard. It's an incredibly elegant guitar that looks as good as it sounds.
The guitar is in essentially Mint condition with no pick scratches that we can find and no fret wear to speak of. It has been exceptionally well cared for.
It plays easily, sounds wonderful, and has the kind of resonance and tonal complexity you'd expect from a top-tier Martin Custom Shop guitar.
Comes complete with the original hardshell case and paperwork as shown, including the original tag.
