Overview

The Martin Custom Shop Dread 41 Style Adirondack / Exceptional Broad Figure Koa represents the pinnacle of acoustic guitar artistry. Selected for NAMM 2025 by Tone Shop Guitars, this one-of-a-kind dreadnought boasts visually stunning, exceptionally broad-figured koa back and sides—each piece chosen for its rare beauty and acoustic excellence.

The Grade 8 Adirondack spruce top is paired with hand-shaped, Golden Era-style scalloped X-bracing, producing robust projection, nuanced overtones, and exceptional clarity across the entire register. Antique white binding, abalone top perimeter, and a Style 45 Boltaron rosette elevate the look, while select abalone “Alternate Torch” inlays add a signature Custom Shop flourish.

A genuine mahogany neck with Martin’s celebrated GE Modified Low Oval/High Performance Taper feels instantly broken-in, and a bound ebony fingerboard ensures smooth, effortless play. Outfitted with gold Waverly tuners, this heirloom-quality instrument is finished in gloss (body), satin (neck), and polished (headplate)—the complete Martin Custom Shop experience.
