The Story

Custom Shop Size 5 Mahogany Acoustic Guitar 1933 Ambertone

Martin's Custom Shop creates some of the world's best acoustic guitars, and this custom Size 5 is no exception! A classic from the early 20th century, the Size 5 was the ideal parlor guitar for players of smaller stature. This custom model features all-Mahogany construction for a warmth that belies its small-bodied construction. The delicate top bracing allows the top to vibrate freely, giving a blooming projection that simply has to be heard to be believed. The 1933 Ambertone top finish contrasts beautifully with the simple Style 18 Abalone rosette. The Black Ebony fingerboard and bridge complete the visual package on this one-of-a-kind Martin.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Paperwork
