Martin Custom Shop Slope Shoulder Dread Spruce/Mahogany Burgundy w/case 2894733

This Martin Custom Shop Slope Shoulder Dreadnought blends classic D-18-inspired construction with exclusive Tone Shop design elements, finished in a striking solid Burgundy. The slope shoulder body shape delivers a warmer, more rounded voice with excellent balance and comfort, while premium spruce and mahogany provide the unmistakable Martin foundation of clarity, punch, and depth.

Boutique appointments like European flamed maple binding, Style 45 reduced hexagon inlays, and a gloss body with satin neck elevate both the look and feel. It’s a rare Custom Shop build that pairs vintage-inspired tone with a bold, modern aesthetic.

• Premium spruce top with mahogany back and sides for classic Martin tone
• European flamed maple binding and pickguard for a unique custom touch
