Martin Custom Shop 41 Style Adirondack Spruce VTS-Wild Grain Rosewood 000 Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar Natural

This Martin Custom Shop 41 Style 000 embodies the height of acoustic excellence, handcrafted by Martin’s elite team of luthiers in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Built from ultra-premium tonewoods and adorned with ornate Style 41 detailing, it combines the responsiveness of Adirondack spruce with the rich complexity and striking aesthetics of wild-grain East Indian rosewood. Every curve, inlay and artistic flourish is executed with heirloom precision, blending centuries-old craftsmanship with modern refinement. From the thermo-aged VTS top to its flamed koa binding and vintage-style gold Grover tuners, this exquisite 000 showcases the artistry and tone that define Martin’s most exceptional creations.

Adirondack Spruce VTS Top With Golden Era Bracing

At the core of this Custom Shop masterpiece lies an Adirondack spruce soundboard treated with Martin’s Vintage Tone System (VTS). This proprietary process emulates the natural aging of vintage wood, enhancing harmonic complexity and unlocking the quick response and warmth of a well-played prewar instrument. The top’s Golden Era scalloped X-bracing—crafted from matching Adirondack spruce—maximizes resonance and projection while maintaining tonal balance. Together, they produce the clarity, headroom and dynamic range that discerning players demand, whether performing intricate fingerstyle passages or driving the rhythm with a pick. It’s an inspiring top built for both power and sensitivity.

Hand-Selected Wild-Grain East Indian Rosewood Back and Sides

Hand-selected for its exceptional beauty and tonal sophistication, the wild-grain East Indian rosewood used for the back and sides gives this 000 a truly individual character. The swirling grain patterns and deep chocolate hues make every set unique, while the tonal contribution is unmistakable—lush lows, singing trebles and rich, piano-like overtones that complement the responsive Adirondack top. This pairing yields a deep, harmonically complex voice that feels both intimate and expansive. The 000 auditorium body size brings this power into perfect balance, delivering a focused midrange and articulate projection ideal for both stage and studio use.

Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Unmatched Playability

The select mahogany neck is carved to Martin’s comfortable Modified Low Oval profile with a High Performance taper, offering a fast, inviting feel that suits both modern and traditional playing styles. The short 24.9" scale enhances playability with a softer touch and balanced tension, while the 1-3/4" bone nut provides ample room for intricate fretting. An ebony fingerboard adds a touch of visual elegance and tonal clarity, featuring long-pattern Style 45 snowflake inlays that catch the light with abalone shimmer. The result is a neck that plays as smoothly as it looks—responsive, stable and beautifully proportioned for expressive performance.

Premium Martin Appointments and Vintage-Inspired Hardware

Every detail of this Custom Shop 000 speaks to Martin’s tradition of refined luxury. Highly flamed koa binding frames the body in glowing contrast, joined by a 45 Style abalone rosette, mosaic purfling and koa heelcap. Grover gold tuners with butterbean buttons add timeless style while ensuring rock-solid tuning precision. A compensated bone saddle and bridge pins with abalone accents maximize tonal transfer, giving each note crystalline definition. Finished in high-gloss lacquer with a satin neck for effortless play, this guitar’s aesthetic sophistication is matched only by its tonal purity and impeccable build quality.
