Martin 000-42 Custom Shop #2381752

With this Martin 000-42 Custom Shop, another happy customer has fulfilled a dream. This particular example became a reality with our help in the Martin Custom Shop in Nazareth. A 000-42 served as the basis. This was then expanded to feature a few special details. The top is made of premium Adirondack spruce, which has been treated with the Vintage Tone System. The back and sides are made of premium class cocobolo. These special woods were processed using Vintage Hide Glue (hot glue). As a further specialty, all bindings are made of real wood! The black ebony adorns the body, neck and headstock. In addition to the traditional 42 style inlays, our customer requested an "Alternate Torch" inlay in the headstock and bridge. All inlay work is painstakingly done by hand and is made from select abalone. Further visual highlights are the 1935 sunburst finish on the top and the golden Gotoh machine heads. In its entirety, the result is an extraordinary one-off piece, which is in a league of its own both in terms of sound and appearance!
