Martin Custom Shop 000 Black Walnut

Serial #: 2953285

Overview

This Martin Custom Shop Edition offers an elegant twist on the classic 000-18 design, pairing domestic tonewoods with premium detailing. The back and sides are crafted from sustainably sourced Black Walnut, chosen for its warm tonal character and striking visual appeal. Binding in European Flamed Maple adds refined contrast, while natural fiber inlays lend a subtle, vintage-inspired touch.

The result is an instrument that balances tradition with innovation: timeless Martin craftsmanship, a comfortable 000-14 fret body, and domestic hardwoods that deliver both beauty and remarkable sonic qualities. This Custom Shop run proves that American-grown tonewoods can rival the finest imports in both sound and style.
