Sleek, Sloped, and Sensational — A Tone Shop Custom for the Collector Who Plays

This Martin Custom Shop 00 Slope Shoulder is a rare meeting of old-world craftsmanship and modern tonal vision. Hand-selected by the team at Tone Shop Guitars, the premium figured Black Walnut back and sides are the immediate visual showstopper—rippling with character and depth. But this guitar isn’t just about looks.

Paired with a Grade 3-4 Adirondack spruce top and scalloped Golden Era bracing, this short-scale slope-shoulder Grand Concert delivers a voice that’s open, responsive, and warm—with crisp definition and a rich low-mid presence perfect for fingerstyle, light strumming, or nuanced studio work. The slightly shorter 24.9" scale adds a slinky, expressive feel under the fingers without sacrificing clarity or punch.

The GE Modified Low Oval neck with High Performance Taper offers fast, modern playability while maintaining vintage-inspired comfort. And the finishing touches—Style 28 Boltaron rosette, Diamonds & Squares abalone inlay, and the classic faux tortoise pickguard—blend elegance with restraint.

This one-of-a-kind build is more than a guitar. It’s a work of art, built to inspire and designed to sing for generations.
