This particular Martin Custom Shop D Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar model stands out with a solid Sitka Spruce top paired with epic Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood back and sides, creating a visual and sonic tapestry that reflects the quality that Martin Custom Shop guitars have become synonymous with.
This Custom Shop D Dreadnought gives a nod to the rich heritage of its base model, the Martin Dreadnought. Originating in the early 20th century, the dreadnought shape was an innovation, designed to produce a bolder, more resonant sound. Fast forward to the present, and the Custom Shop takes that historic design, infusing it with modern sophistication.
The Sitka Spruce top provides a solid foundation, ensuring a balanced tone that is articulate and responsive. Paired with the Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood back and sides, the body of this guitar resonates with a unique blend of warmth and clarity. Combined with forward-shifted, Sitka spruce X bracing, the structural integrity is sound, while the top is allowed to vibrate freely, translating into a sound that’s distinctively Martin, but also one of a kind.
Dressed to impress, the Custom Shop D Dreadnought sports a highly flamed Koa binding that serves as a frame, accentuating the guitar’s contours with a touch of elegance. The rosette, styled in the iconic black maple fiber of Style 45, adds a subtle yet captivating detail. The neck, crafted from genuine mahogany, offers a comfortable Modified Low Oval profile with a High-Performance taper for comfort. This thoughtful design ensures easy playability and a Black Ebony fingerboard, adorned with a new Offset 4Pt Snowflake inlay design, provides a smooth surface for fretting.
Tuning is a breeze with Grover Nickel StaTite 18:1 Vintage Button machines, allowing tuning precision and showing off vintage-inspired charm. The bone nut, flat and unassuming, adds to the guitar’s resonance while the bridge, a modern belly style crafted from black ebony, complements the overall aesthetic while enhancing sustain.
The finish of this Custom Shop is a triple threat: a glossy body meets a satin neck, with a polished headplate tying everything together with a final nod to the guitar’s uncompromising craftsmanship.
