Ish Guitars was lucky enough to win this beautiful piece at the Martin Custom Shop lottery at NAMM 2019. MSRP $15,899.00
The backstory: "Our friend Lenny from the west coast pulled up in front of the Martin Factory for a visit. He opened his trunk & pulled out his every day / weekend player - which was built in 1902! It was in such great condition that we decided it needed to reproduced in the Custom Shop. We took measurements & pics & the like & were so impressed with the tone of his guitar. It was too good to ignore. It was like playing inside a time machine!" This guitar is a true-as-can-be replica of the 1902 that Lenny brought in to the Martin factory!
This is a COMPLETELY CUSTOM guitar from the Martin Custom Shop which cannot be created again. A true 1 of 1! Don't miss on on this special instrument, when its gone its gone.
