Moore Guitars is proud to be one of the select dealers in partnering with the Martin Custom Shop.

Designing a custom guitar opens up a world of possibilities. It all begins with selecting the body shape that feels right in your hands—or better yet, one that fits both your playing style and your sonic goals. From there, it’s about choosing the perfect tonewood to capture the sound you hear in your head, then adding the visual touches—from stains and finishes to intricate inlays—that make it uniquely yours.

But customization isn't without its challenges. Not every wood pairing is a match made in heaven. Over the past century, builders have discovered combinations that produce truly inspiring tones—and others that fall flat. That’s why it’s so important to strike the right balance between sound and style. With thoughtful choices and expert craftsmanship, the results can be truly exceptional.

Key reasons why your next instrument should come from Moore Guitars:

- Custom setup! Our experienced guitar techs set up and intonate every guitar and bass to the manufacturer's specifications before shipping. But what if you want something specific to your taste? No problem. If you want to provide measurements for neck relief and string height, we’ll nail it. Or you can give more general manufacturer's specs, like, “Neck is pretty flat. Low action. No buzz.” Our techs are professional guitarists. They understand you.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
