Martin Custom Shop 28/45 Style 00-14F Slope Shoulder Italian Alpine Spruce/Cocobolo w/case 3078288

Designed by Tone Shop Guitars and built by the Martin Custom Shop, this exclusive 28/45 Style 00-14 Fret Slope Shoulder is the result of our team's visit to the Martin factory, where we personally selected the cocobolo sets and developed the specifications from the ground up. Blending the comfort of Martin's compact slope shoulder 00 body with premium tonewoods and elegant appointments, this custom build offers remarkable responsiveness, warmth, and projection in an incredibly comfortable package.

An Italian Alpine spruce top pairs with premium cocobolo back and sides to create a voice that is lively, articulate, and richly harmonic. Golden Era hand-shaped scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing maximizes responsiveness, allowing the guitar to produce surprising volume and dynamic range while maintaining the focused, balanced character that makes a small-body Martin so inspiring to play.

A GE Modified Low Oval neck with High Performance Taper provides effortless playability, while refined 28/45 Style appointments—including a Style 45 abalone rosette, bold herringbone top trim, checker back purfling, ebony fingerboard and bridge, cocobolo headplate, and vintage-style Grover StaTite tuners—complete one of the most visually striking customs we've designed. This is a true Tone Shop exclusive, built from tonewoods we hand-selected alongside the Martin Custom Shop.
