Up for sale we have a 2013 Martin Custom model dreadnought in Natural finish with its original Martin branded hardshell case. The “Martin Custom“ moniker covers a wide variety of one-off, dealer special and limited-run builds. The origins of this particular instrument are currently unknown to us but it is a fantastic instrument, lightweight and resonant with an incredible woody and airy quality. The guitar has strong fundamental tone and projection and is very responsive to both flatpicking and fingerstyle playing. The guitar is in excellent clean condition showing very little visible wear or signs of use. The bottom side of the body where the guitar makes contact with a seated players leg shows some small dents and worming (see photo), aside from that there is really nothing else to note. The guitar has been very well cared for and has likely not seen much playing time. A fantastic sounding Martin dreadnought here. Structurally sound with no cracks, breaks or repairs. All parts and components are original to the guitar to the best of our knowledge.
