Martin 00-45 Custom Shop 1989 - breathtaking masterpiece in sound and craftsmanship in pre-war style!
This exquisite Martin 00-45 was built in 1989 by the Martin Custom Shop on the occasion of its 10th anniversary. Produced in a strictly limited edition, it represents the highest level of craftsmanship and combines timeless aesthetics with unparalleled tonal quality. Every detail of this instrument has been meticulously designed to embody both the charm of yesteryear and modern precision.
The top is made from premium Sitka spruce, prized for its exceptional clarity, warmth and dynamic response. The back and sides are made from stunning rosewood, a tonewood renowned for its deep, complex sound and rich overtones. With signature 45-fret abalone inlays, this guitar exudes pure elegance, while the headstock is adorned with a beautiful „torch“ inlay - one of Martin's most distinctive design elements. Built with classic pre-war features such as scalloped bracing, open headstock design and a slightly V-shaped neck profile, it remains true to the golden era of guitar making.

The guitar responds with incredible sensitivity to even the lightest touch, making it an absolute dream for fingerstyle players. The modified V-neck profile offers the perfect balance between authentic vintage feel and modern playing comfort, providing a comfortable, effortless playing experience.
