An exquisite instrument that marries timeless craftsmanship with modern innovation. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this guitar pays homage to the classic "00" Grand Concert body shape, drawing inspiration from the past while boasting a unique personality of its own.
The body shape, a delicate "00" Grand Concert, is renowned for its balanced tone and comfortable playability, making it a favorite among discerning musicians. With a nod to tradition, this guitar features a non-cutaway design that enhances the resonance and depth of its tone.
Designed for uncompromised performance, this 6-string beauty features a robust dovetail neck joint, ensuring optimal stability and resonance transfer. The appointment level is set to the standard of excellence that defines Martin's legacy, while the use of modern adhesive technology guarantees durability and consistent tone.
The heart of this guitar lies in its choice of tonewoods. The top is meticulously crafted from Italian Alpine Spruce, known for its dynamic range and responsiveness. Reinforced by Sitka Spruce bracing, this guitar projects clear and articulate tones across any genre.
Turning to the back and sides, Guatemalan Rosewood brings warmth, depth, and a touch of elegance to the sound palette. The highly flamed Koa binding not only adds a striking visual element but also protects the instrument's edges and contributes to its overall resonance.
An exquisite Style 45 Black Maple Fiber rosette graces the soundhole, paying tribute to Martin's heritage. The modern straight-line bridge style ensures optimal string-to-body energy transfer, enhancing sustain and tone.
The neck of the "00" Grand Concert Body Guitar is carved from 12/4 Genuine Mahogany, offering strength and tonal richness. The modified low oval profile and high-performance taper provide a comfortable grip across the fingerboard, enhancing playability for both intricate chords and swift lead work.
Grover Gold V97-18GA StaTite tuning machines offer precise tuning control with a vintage aesthetic touch. The fingerboard, crafted from Black Ebony, showcases stunning alternate torch inlays, guiding your fingers along the frets with elegance.
Aesthetics meet functionality with the exquisite finish package – a lustrous gloss body finish complemented by a satin neck and polished headplate. The clear top color allows the natural beauty of the wood to shine through, captivating both the eyes and ears.
This Martin Custom Shop prioritizes acoustic purity, reflected in the decision to forgo electronics. With 14 frets clear of the body and a scale length of 24.9", it offers the player effortless access to higher registers while maintaining its signature tonal balance.
