The Story

Custom Shop Dreadnought 18 Style Adirondack Spruce and Mahogany

Built with top-tier appointments and hand-picked wood sets by The Music Zoo during a visit to the Martin factory in Nazareth, PA - this is a gorgeous Martin Custom Shop Dreadnought crafted from Adirondack spruce with mahogany for the back and sides. The guitar is braced with Adirondack spruce in a forward shifted X pattern, and given a vintage Golden Era feeling with a Full Thickness neck profile that has a High Performance taper. The guitar is a workhorse model that's subtle in its looks with 18-style appointments - leaving out the flash of a guitar like a 42 or 45-style and letting the tone woods speak for themselves!

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
