2017 Martin Custom Shop D-45 TREE OF LIFE Cocobolo Adirondack VTS w Paua Pearl!
This is a stunner! A beautiful Martin Custom Shop D-45 Tree of Life, built as a true heirloom instrument for the serious collector or player who wants it all. Blue Paua pearl everywhere — body edges, fretboard, headstock, bridge, and even the pickguard — executed at the highest level the Custom Shop is capable of. The Tree of Life inlay work is simply stunning and incredibly detailed, with flowing vines and flowers that come alive in the light.
Tonewoods are equally no-compromise. Cocobolo rosewood back and sides paired with an Adirondack spruce VTS (Vintage Tone System) top deliver everything you want from a great Martin dreadnought: huge volume, deep bass, punch, clarity, and that unmistakable Martin growl. Forward-shifted scalloped Golden Era bracing keeps it powerful and responsive. Finished off with highly figured Hawaiian koa binding, a Cocobolo headplate, and a comfortable Performing Artist neck taper, this one plays as good as it looks.
This is not just a showpiece — it’s a world-class dreadnought that sounds every bit as impressive as its appearance. A true top-tier Martin Custom Shop build and an instant centerpiece for any collection. The condition is near mint with no notable wear. Very nice guitar here!
