Add to Compare2009 Martin D-42 Blackwood, Tasmanian Blackwood/Adirondack Spruce
This is a new one for us! A D-42 Blackwood from Martin’s Custom Shop that’s rigged up with Tasmanian Blackwood and Adirondack Spruce. Tasmanian Blackwood is related to Koa (which also means it has similar gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous figuring), and here with Adirondack Spruce on top for added power and push, the tone is expressive, colorful, and dynamic. It mixes up beautifully across the registers, and has enough sensitivity for some fingerpicking to boot. The 42-Style treatment is always eye catching, and here pairs up perfectly with the highly figured Tassie Blackwood. Setup and playability are easy peasy—and this 2009 D-42 Blackwood model is ready for more!

Add to Compare2007 Martin D-18 Shade Top, Quilted Mahogany/Spruce
We’ve landed a Martin D-18 Custom Shop from 2007 that’s wide awake and raring to go—and dressed up for a night on the town to boot. A lovely shade top finish on top adds drama to the Spruce, and pairs up handsomely with Rosewood bondings and lovely Quilted Mahogany back and sides. Nickel Waverly tuners feel fondly familiar in hand, as does the soft V neck and 1 3/4” nut plus 2 5/16” saddle spacing. The voice has great balance across the registers, and frankly holds up quite well for fingerpicking when you aren’t leaning in with a flatpick (which of course it handles with aplomb). Well cared for and in great playing shape—nab it while you can!

Snowflakes & diamonds along the fretboard, plus the rosette and even the bridge pins (and the end pin!). V neck with 1 11/16” nut for easy lefthand work, plus a solid setup with great break angle at the through saddle for easy playing and powerful response. Snag this Martin D-45 Vintage Series before it’s gone, baby gone!

Add to Compare2016 Martin Custom Shop 000-14F, All Fiddleback Mahogany
Here we’ve landed a great example of Martin Custom Shop chops with a 2016 000-14F decked out all in Fiddleback Mahogany and bound in Maple. Rope style rosette and trim? Yes, please! While designated as a 000 at the heelblock, this Custom Shop has a long scale setup that works well with the all-Mahogany construction, giving a nice edge to the woody warmth. Quick decay lends itself well for blues or rags, and we had a blast getting into it here. We love the Maple torch inlaid at the headstock, rather than the typical Abalone, for a more understated effect that looks gorgeous and makes this 000-14F stand out even more.

Add to Compare2018 Martin D-45 John Mayer, Guatemalan Rosewood/Engelmann Spruce
The relationship between John Mayer and Martin has yielded a number of incredible models—and we’ve just landed a single owner 2018 D-45 John Mayer Signature that’s proof. Based off of a D-45 Mayer found in Japan in the 70s, he and Martin worked together testing out various wood combinations, eventually settling on Guatemalan Rosewood and Engelmann Spruce. The top has a hybrid bracing system of Adirondack Spruce cross braces with Sitka Spruce tonebars, a combo they landed on after several different iterations. And this beauty is number 32 of an exclusive 45 ever built! The neck is Martin’s vintage-style Full Thickness profile, which feels chunky and full in-hand. With a 1 11/16” nut, though, the play feel is still comfortable and effortless; this D-45 John Mayer plays handsomely. Wrapping up the package, we have Abalone trim on top and along the heel and endgraft, plus 45-style Abalone hexagram position markers along the fretboard.

Add to Compare1938 Martin 000-45, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
And then there was a 45 from ’38. Just handling this piece of prewar history is an honor, let alone to play it—and we’re honored to offer it to you. Before discontinuing the series in 1942, Martin only built 265 45-series flattops, making only 19 000s in 1938. The venerable T.J. Thompson has handled this beauty before and vouches for its originality, as do we and our repair staff after having gone over it tuner to tail. Inside, this one has some interesting features that further set it apart. 1938 was the transition year from forward X-braced tops to rear X; look inside and you’ll see notches in the kerf lining for a forward X (with serial 69896 putting it early in ’38), but the X is actually rear shifted. Thompson confirms that it is an original Martin top with period correct pearl, and offers that the build could have started early in the year and was shelved for some reason until after the factory transitioned to rear X tops. Alternatively, the original top could have failed within the year and was replaced in 1938 or 1939 with a rear X. Regardless, this 000-45 plays like a sweet dream, and rings, rings, rings. It’s in a category of its own, and has been played in just enough for that wide awake sound, without a lot of wear and tear. Holy grail, indeed.

Add to Compare2018 Martin 000-42 Custom, Indian Rosewood/Engelmann Spruce
Here. we. go! A livewire 000-42 Custom Shop Martin in Indian Rosewood and Engelmann Spruce that’s easy on the eyes and ears (and hands). Built in 2018, in great shape and raring to go. The Engelmann is an upgraded, premium grade eight set, and is finished out with a gorgeous vintage-styled brown shade top and Koa bindings. The soundhole is bound with a sweet custom rosette of diamonds, and the top border is dark Abalone to boot. The tone is lively and energetic, with a quick response and clean projection that really soaks up fingerstyle tunes. 24.9” scale in a 14-fret 000 arrangement adds warmth to the trebles that pairs up so sweetly with the mids and bass registers, and the easy setup makes it so hard to put this beauty down for any length of time. Comes wrapped up in a molded Martin case.

Add to Compare2015 Martin OM-28 Custom Shop, Madagascar Rosewood/Italian Spruce
This is a sweetheart Custom Shop equally at home with fingers as with picks. What a smooth operator! Martin’s Custom Shop team pulled off a gorgeous bespoke piece with this 2015 OM-28 shade top. Chocolate-brown Madagascar Rosewood pairs up with Italian Spruce on top (one of our Custom Shop favorite Spruces) and a tasty brown burst to boot. 28-style appointments plus herringbone trim on the top and a checkered backstrip behind, Grover tuners, and Ivoroid bindings. The voice is what we’d describe as extra smooth: the bass register is warm and present, filling out chords, while the trebles add a nice glassy flavor on top that blends handsomely with the mids. Great string energy on this one, and it plays oh so easily as well. Had your eye out for a Custom Shop that’ll do it all? Look no further, your search is at an end.

We’ve got a crisp and lively Bluegrass cannon here for you fine flatpicking folks.
