Martin Custom Shop 000 18 style Jaguar Claw Mahogany Sunburst w/case 2981098

This Tone Shop–designed Martin Custom Shop 000 14-Fret pairs a premium Adirondack spruce top with a rare Jaguar Claw mahogany set that we hand-selected for both tone and visual character. The result is a focused, punchy voice with excellent balance, quick response, and a rich, expressive midrange that sits perfectly in both fingerstyle and light strumming applications.

Golden Era scalloped bracing and a short 24.9" scale give the guitar a lively, broken-in feel, while the 1935 Sunburst finish and vintage-inspired appointments keep it rooted in classic Martin design. It’s a highly responsive auditorium build that blends prewar character with refined Custom Shop execution.
