Martin 00-Custom 12 Fret Engelmann
SKU: 1202-1F17006A custom-made guitar from the Martin Custom Shop. This 00-Custom with neck joint at the 12th fret was created with sound quality as the main criteria. The top is made of Engelmann spruce, a particularly rare material. The few guitars with Engelmann tops that Martin makes always sound exceptionally good. This 00-Custom has beautifully smooth highs, silky mids and a defined response, sound characteristics that are usually attributed to “Golden Age” Martin guitars from the late 1920s to 1942.
The ultra-thin, satin-finished nitro lacquer allows plenty of resonance and is very comfortable to play. True to the motto “Golden Age of Martin Guitars”, this 00 was set with “Vintage Hide Glue”. Martin has been using this natural glue since the beginning in 1833. The positive sound qualities and durability still make this glue the best choice for building a high-quality guitar today.
You can test and buy this custom-made 00-Custom from June 1st – 29th 2024. We look forward to your visit!
