Martin Custom Shop 00-12F 45 Style Adirondack/Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood w/case

Martin Custom Shop 00-12F 45 Style Adirondack / Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood

This Martin Custom Shop 00-12F is a small-body masterpiece built with 45-style appointments and a truly exceptional wood set hand-selected by Tone Shop Guitars. The combination of a premium Adirondack spruce top and Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood back and sides delivers rich overtones, quick response, and surprising headroom for a 00-size instrument.

With snowflake inlays, birdseye maple binding, aging toner, and elegant perimeter abalone trim, this build sits at the top of Martin’s traditional aesthetic — yet plays with modern refinement thanks to its modified V neck, 12-fret design, and short-scale feel. If you love intimate, articulate tone with boutique-level style, this one is special.
