Product information

Completely decked out with traditional style-45 abalone purflings, an inlaid pickguard, and the "Tree of Life" fingerboard motif, it's hard to conceive of a more highly decorated guitar than this one.

We first hosted this sensational-sounding, amazing-looking Martin Custom Shop style-45 dreadnought when we ordered it ten years ago (slightly longer than that if you factor in build time). Completely decked out with traditional style-45 abalone purflings, an inlaid pickguard, and the "Tree of Life" fingerboard motif, it's hard to conceive of a more highly decorated guitar than this one -- especially when factoring tone into the mix! This guitar's voice is incredibly rich and complex, with cavernous depth of tone, sparkle, and overtone content. It's also plenty powerful and responsive, and rewards seemingly any attack with fullness and warmth. Our original demo video, featuring Molly Tuttle, is included herein. Priced with 5-ply hardshell case. On consignment; expedited shipping required at online checkout.
