Martin Custom Shop 28/45 Style 000 Adirondack/Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood w/case 3068287

Serial: 3068287

This Martin Custom Shop 000 was handpicked and designed by Tone Shop Guitars in collaboration with the Martin Custom Shop, built with an Adirondack spruce top and a premium set of Wild Grain East Indian rosewood back and sides. It brings together a comfortable 000/OM Auditorium body shape, a short 24.9" scale length, and tasteful 28/45-style appointments for a custom Martin that feels familiar, responsive, and visually elevated.

The Adirondack spruce top gives this guitar excellent headroom, clarity, and dynamic range, while the Wild Grain East Indian rosewood back and sides add rich depth, complex overtones, and standout visual character. Compared to a larger dreadnought, the 000 body keeps the response focused and immediate, with a balanced voice that works beautifully for fingerstyle, flatpicking, strumming, and recording.

The top is braced with Adirondack spruce in a scalloped X-brace pattern with Golden Era hand shaping, giving the guitar a lively, open response with plenty of nuance. The shorter scale length adds a slightly softer feel under the hands, making this custom 000 a great choice for players who want a premium rosewood Martin with strong projection and a more comfortable playing experience.

The neck features a Modified V profile with High Performance Taper, a 1 3/4" nut width, and a black ebony fingerboard with long diamonds and squares inlays. A Wild Grain East Indian rosewood headplate with CFM block inlay ties the custom wood selection into the headstock, while the Style 45 Boltaron rosette with select abalone, herringbone top inlay, antique white binding, and faux tortoise pickguard complete the look.
