2012 Martin Custom Shop 000-42 Premium MADAGASCAR Rosewood ADIRONDACK Spruce Quilted Bubinga Binding!

Here is a wonderful Martin Custom Shop 000-42 with outstanding woods. This one has it all. It's beautiful but also plays easy and sounds excellent!

This one features a Madagascar rosewood back and sides paired with an Adirondack spruce top, which is a combination that delivers strong fundamentals, excellent clarity, and plenty of headroom. The tone is balanced across the register with crisp, sparkling trebles and a quick, responsive feel.

Cosmetically, the guitar is in very good condition, with only some light scratches on the back and lower side, and some light marks here and there. Nothing out of the ordinary and certainly nothing structural. It plays well, sounds excellent, and looks every bit the part of a Style 42 Martin.

As expected, the appointments are top-tier: Style 45 snowflake inlays on the ebony fingerboard, Paua rosette and purfling, quilted bubinga body binding, and gold Waverly tuners with butterbean knobs. A refined, elegant guitar that feels special in hand without being over the top.

Comes with the original Martin-branded TKL hardshell case.
