Martin / Custom Shop 000 Cocobolo/spruce / 2014 / Sunburst / Guitar
|
This is a Brand New, never sold 2014 Jaw Dropping Martin Custom Shop 000 or OM style guitar made from rare and exotic (expensive) cocobolo back and sides plus a superb shaded Adirondack spruce top + original plush case
We bought this from an official Martin dealer that had ordered this guitar from the Martin Custom Shop, displayed it in his shop and unfortunately had a leak in his wall mounted humidifying unit that caused some water to drip on the front.
It was quickly discovered, properly dried and polished off but you can still see a patch on the top lower bout where the finish has slightly stained, plus a small bit by the bridge and a couple of marks on the bottom. I have photographed all of this very clearly and tried to make it look worse than it is in real life so there will be no surprises.
Because of this, we have the oppertunity to pass this amazing guitar on at 50% off or half the MSSP of £7,000 which we think will be quite a bargain for this standard of guitar and Martin Custom Shop craftsmanship...
Here is the full description from the dealer we bought it from:
Wood hand-selected by a Martin expert for its exceptional figuring and character, this Martin Custom Shop 000 series 14 Fret Cocobolo is a looker as much as it is a player. A beautiful wedding of Adirondack spruce and cocobolo with hide glue, this fantastic 000 boasts classic small-body Martin tone with an exotic wood twist. Its low end is mild and concentrated and perfectly compliments its more responsive midrange. The highs are smooth yet crisp, allowing the overall balance to lean slightly richer and more articulate towards the top end. Outside of its great tone, it possesses stylish appointments without taking away from the natural beauty of its figuring. Complete with a style 45 select abalone pearl rosette, grained ivoroid binding, and an amber tone gloss top, this gorgeous guitar is sure to delight the eyes and ears of anyone lucky enough to experience it.
