Martin Custom Shop 00-12 Slotted Claro Walnut w/ Flamed Maple Binding

DESCRIPTION

The perfect Martin 00 does exist - we spec'd it in person at the Martin Custom shop! While browsing the wood vault in Nazareth, Ish Guitar's team found two spectacular pieces of highly figured Claro Walnut, only large enough to produce a small-bodied guitar. 

Claro Walnut is a perfect fit for a 00 size. The clean tone of walnut, combined with its mid-low frequency bump helps to accentuate the best parts of a small guitar, providing huge clarity without sacrificing too much bass response. Yes, its rare to see a walnut top, sides, and back on an acoustic - but you'll be amazed at what you have been missing once you hear this instrument. 

As with all Ish-spec'd Martin Custom shop guitars, once it's gone, it's gone. Don't hold back on such a special instrument!

SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR TECH TEAM

All of our guitars come with a FREE professional setup to a comfortable action as specified by that instrument’s manufacturer. Our setups always include inspection of (and necessary adjustment to): action, intonation, tremolo angle, truss rod, frets, nut, bridge, and more. We can accommodate special setup requests - additional charges and/or shipping delays of 1-2 business days could occur.

INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED

After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
