2024 Martin Factory Tour -Custom Shop Factory Wood Selection Custom Model- The Martin Custom Shop is the pinnacle of modern Martin, where all products are handmade by around 20 ski lled craftsmen, only the most skilled of whom are allowed to work in the vast factory. This is a carefully crafted masterpiece, created by Ikebe Musical Instruments' acoustic staff who visited the Martin factory and selected the finest wood materials that are only used in custom shops. This is a custom model by Konshin that is based on the 000-28 and uses beautiful maple wood throughout. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece features maple not only on the sides and back, but also on the fingerboard, bridge, headstock, and binding, making the most of the beautiful wood grain and unique off-white color, and finished with a vertical logo and snowflake inlay. Considering the match with the hard maple, Swiss spruce, which is clear and moderately soft, was selected for the top material. We have selected materials that are tightly grained and have a supple tap tone. With a maple fingerboard and bridge, you might imagine a very hard, shrill sound, but there are no high-frequency components that hurt the ears, and the result is a wonderful tone that is clear and has good attack, a rich midrange, and an extended sustain. It has a clear tone that flies straight, so you can play it with a stroke or elegantly with fingerstyle... It also has a certain sparkle that is reminiscent of the 40s. Despite its unique looks, this guitar allows you to enjoy the brilliant Martin sound. It's a challenging design that you won't find anywhere else, and it's a guitar that we would recommend to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary. We not only focused on the looks, but also carefully discussed with Martin staff about the final sound. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity!-SPEC- Top: Euro.
