Seriously beautiful Guatemalan Rosewood back & sides take center stage on this excellent sounding 00 45-style Custom, built for the 2015 NAMM show. For this instrument Martin paired a Premium Sitka spruce top to a striking set of figured Guatemalan rosewood. Framed by the 45-style abalone purfling, Quilted Bubinga wood binding replaces the standard ivoroid, adding character and warmth.

This 14-fret 00 is a remarkably versatile guitar. It handles fingerstyle quite well, of course, but this is also a wonderful size for flatpicking under a light or medium attack. The well voiced, responsive top makes for a dynamic playing experience, while the Guatemalan rosewood imparts richness and very nice harmonic complexity. If you are on the hunt for a 45-style, or just a great sounding small-bodied Martin with a unique aesthetic, look no further. This guitar comes to us in very good condition.
