Martin Custom Shop 00 12-Fret Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood w/case 2981132

Martin Custom Shop 00 12-Fret – Adirondack / Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood
Serial: 2981132

This Custom Shop 00 12-Fret is a Tone Shop Guitars build featuring a Premium Adirondack spruce top paired with a Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood back and sides set selected by our team (#97). Designed as a Style-42 inspired small-body with slotted headstock, pyramid bridge, long-pattern Snowflake inlays, and full 45-style top trim, this guitar balances elegance with the warmth and responsiveness that 12-fret 00s are loved for.

The Adirondack top is built with Authentic thickness and Golden Era–style 1/4" scalloped bracing, giving the guitar a quick, lively attack with exceptional clarity. The Wild Grain EIR adds richness and sustain without overpowering the smaller body. Combined with the Modified V neck, standard taper, and 24.9" scale, this build plays light, feels open, and responds beautifully to fingerstyle or dynamic picking.

Aging Toner, Style 45 rosette, Alternate Torch headplate inlay, and relic nickel Golden Age tuners complete a highly refined, vintage-leaning presentation.
