Martin Custom Shop 00-12 Fret 28 Style Adirondack / Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood Overview

This Martin Custom Shop 00-12 fret build leans into a more traditional design with a short scale, slotted headstock, and smaller body size. The Italian Alpine spruce top offers a refined, responsive character with excellent clarity, while the wild grain East Indian rosewood back and sides add depth and overtone richness. The 12-fret construction shifts the bridge placement slightly toward the center of the lower bout, contributing to a warmer, more open low end and a relaxed overall response.

Scalloped 1/4" bracing keeps the top light and responsive, making this guitar especially well-suited for fingerstyle and lighter touch playing. The Modified V neck with a 30s-style heel provides a more pronounced, vintage-inspired feel in the hand, while the slotted headstock and pyramid bridge complete the traditional aesthetic. This is a Custom Shop instrument focused on nuance, balance, and a classic playing experience.
