Martin Custom Shop 42 Style 000-14F Torch Motif Adirondack/Machiche w/case 3042109

Serial: 3042109

This Martin Custom Shop 000-14F is a refined 42 Style build that pairs premium Adirondack spruce with certified Machiche back and sides, creating a voice that is both powerful and focused. Adirondack brings headroom and dynamic range, while Machiche—often compared to a denser, more articulate rosewood—adds clarity, strong fundamentals, and controlled overtones. The result is a balanced, highly responsive instrument that handles both nuanced fingerstyle and more aggressive playing with ease. Finished with full abalone top trim and a custom torch motif inlay, this build blends traditional Martin craftsmanship with distinctive custom detailing.

Highlights

• Adirondack spruce top for exceptional headroom, projection, and dynamic response
• Certified Machiche back and sides for clarity, focus, and controlled overtone content
• 000 14-fret body for balance and versatility across playing styles
• Style 42 appointments with abalone top pearl and Style 45 rosette
• Custom alternate torch inlay on fingerboard and peghead for a unique visual identity
