The folks who run the Custom Shop at Martin Guitars know what they’re doing: one look at the Custom 0-42, and you’ll see what we mean. In pairing Madagascar Rosewood back and sides with a European Spruce top, they gave this guitar a sumptuously rich voice with sparkling trebles and a room-filling bottom end. Not satisfied with an instrument which simply sounded great, the Martin Custom Shop then adorned this guitar with their 42-style Abalone appointments, from the torch headstock and snowflake fretboard inlay to the body bindings and rosette, making this guitar a stunning gem you won’t want to shut up in its case for long. Laid into with a thumbpick for Ragtime or Blues and this guitar barks with the best of them; strummed gently for Early American ballads, you’ve a sirensong on your hands. Regardless of your style, the notes which escape the Abalone-bound soundhole will hang in the air for what feels like a lifetime (which is about how long you’ll want to keep playing this 0-42 as well).

Here we have a Martin 000-42M Eric Clapton in Carpathian Spruce and Madagascar Rosewood. If you know anything about Eric Clapton, you know he is an incredible guitarist with a discerning ear. He won’t let just anyone make a guitar model with his name on it, it has to be a great company and the good folks at Martin are just the people for the job. This 000-42M was modeled after Eric’s personal 1939 000-42, which in its own right is an incredibly famous guitar, big shoes to fill to be sure. We think they hit the ball out of the park with this one, it has the look and feel of that great pre-war 000 that Eric loves so much. Tonally this 000 is perfect for fingerpicking and performs brilliantly even under a flatpick. It has an ideal blend and balance from bass to mids to trebles, with a sublime voice and style.

Occasionally a guitar comes along with an exceptionally fine voice and the owner of whatever store it ends up in just has to buy it for him or herself. Such was the case for Danny Brevard, the founder of Acoustic Pro Musician, when this 1976 Martin D-35 Shaded Top came through the door. When we acquired Danny’s store upon his retirement, he decided to finally part ways with his long-time companion and placed it in our care to sell on his behalf. This guitar is the embodiment of what we have come to expect from the pairing of East Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce. It has a balanced voice with great projection that will cut nicely through in a group playing session. It is easy to see why Danny kept this one for himself for so long!
Before we made this guitar available for sale, Stephen Kinnaird, a certified Martin repairman, gave it a beautiful neck reset and full setup. The bridge, saddle, nut, finish and frets are all original. Danny replaced the pickguard (the original is still in the case) with a TorTis® pickguard and also installed upgraded Gotoh Gold open-backed tuners. The guitar is fabulous and the price is right. Original “Blue” Martin case included!

Here we have a great 12 string D-35 from the fine folks at C.F. Martin and Co. This D12-35 is made from a three piece Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and Sitka Spruce top. There really is nothing quite like a Martin 12 string, this one has plenty of that famous Martin tone to offer up, whether you are strumming or doing some light fingerpicking, this guitar will rumble on the lows on sparkle on the highs. Playability is a big issue on 12 string guitars, often the action is exceptionally tough on the left hand, not so here, this one plays as easy as its 6 string counterpart.

Add to Compare2005 Martin OMC-28M Laurence Juber Custom Edition #32 Madagascar/Adirondack (Red)
When the likes of legendary fingerstylist Laurence Juber and Martin Guitars put their heads together, you know an incredible instrument will be born as a result. They chose to go with the winning combination of Madagascar Rosewood and Adirondack (Red) Spruce, and we’re glad they did! This is a guitar that can handle Blues, Celtic and more, and has the power and snap to keep up with even the big bad jumbos and dreadnoughts. The smooth venetian cutaway provides easy playing all the way to the edge of the fingerboard. Once you start playing this one you just won’t want to stop!

Add to Compare2013 Martin D-18 Authentic 1939 Mahogany/Adirondack (Red)
When we had our last Martin D-18 Authentic 1939 here in the shop it sold so quickly that word got around and a client looking to sell his contacted us about doing the same. Believe it or not, this one just might be in even better shape than the one previous! With a 1 11/16″ nut and 2 1/4″ string spacing and old school Authentic bracing and build style, this guitar has the best of both worlds: vintage tone and modern feel and playability! The notes seem to just leap out of this one, with all the power and control that you would want and expect from a Mahogany and Adirondack (Red) Spruce guitar built to the same specs as one of Martin’s legendary prewar instruments, hide glue, forward shifted bracing, scalloping and all.

This little Martin HOM-35 is a sweet little gem. Made from Brazilian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce top, this OM has a great voice with apparent overtones and a sweet reverb like quality thanks in part to the Brazilian Rosewood. The HOM-35 model marks the sixtieth anniversary of the Martin OM, and this one is number 21 of the 60 made to commemorate the occasion. We found this guitar to work particularly well for sweet fingerpicking melodies, but jazz oriented pieces sound stellar on this OM as well. We are fortunate enough to have three of these anniversary models in the shop right now and each one has a different voice that brings a little something different to the table. This one is all sweet tones, it’s beautiful.

Add to Compare1989 Martin HOM35 60th Anniversary #16/60 Brazilian/Sitka Spruce
This is another of the Martin HOM-35 Anniversary models that we have in the shop. Number 16 of 60, it is a little less played in than numbers 21 and 60 and has considerably less play wear. The voice on this one is stellar, with the Brazilian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce having had more than three decades to mature. The results of its age are evident everywhere in its voice, full and rich and capable. While all of the three HOM-35s that we received have powerful voices, we find this one works slightly better for flatpicking and strumming. Come give it a play! You won’t regret it.

Add to CompareMartin D-41 East Indian/Adirondack (Red)
It is hard to beat a good Martin, whether you are faltpicking or fingerpicking Martins have always been able to handle it. Such is the case with this D-41. Built from the solid combination of Adirondack (Red) Spruce and East Indian Rosewood, this Dread has all the versatility of tone you need for driving a fast bluegrass jam, or backing a sweet vocal melody. The set up is smooth as silk, you can fly up and down the fretboard as quick as you like and not miss a beat.

Here we go everybody, buckle in for this one. We have an absolute cream of the crop 1927 Martin 00-18. This is what the pre-war Martin tone is all about. Sound flies out of this guitar with the lightest touch, and it is oh so sweet. Dig in a little bit and you get that great woody growl from the Mahogany and Adirondack (Red) Spruce. This is one of the lightest guitars we have come across – be careful picking it up or you may end up tossing it across the room! This is truly a special instrument that we feel represents exactly what people think of when they talk about a Pre War Martin.

Add to Compare2003 Martin OM-42 Quilted Maple II Quilted Maple/Italian
Here we have a Martin OM-42 Quilted Maple 2 number 6 of 30. This is the first of its kind that we have seen from Martin, the wood choice truly is unique and stunning. The Quilted Maple used on this guitar is nothing short of fantastic, and Martin and co. took it one step further by staining the wood, bringing forth a truly three dimensional effect. The maple is paired with a tight grained Italian Spruce top. This OM took us all by surprise in the tone department, it is crystal clear and responsive, favoring the fundamental with only a hint of warm overtones. This guitar is a rare collectors piece that not only looks stunning but sounds just the same.

Here we have a rare and collectable bird from the Martin guitar company, a D-28S 12 fret slope shoulder Dreadnought in Brazilian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce. This guitar is all about the tone – it is sweet and rich thanks to the twelve fret neck, while thundering and powerful thanks to the large body size. If you are looking to play intimate fingerstyle passages or you just want to blow peoples hats off, this is the guitar to do it with. And with its perfect set up you’re sure to enjoy every minute of your playing.

Add to Compare1933 Martin 00-40H Brazilian/Adirondack (Red)
We have been extremely fortunate recently to have two truly great pre-war Martins come in to the shop, both of which happen to be 00s. This is a 00-40H built from top shelf Brazilian Rosewood (good luck finding a set of Brazilian this nice these days) and a fine, tight-grained Adirondack Spruce top. The pre-war tone in full force here: this guitar is loud, with the mature complexity that you can’t find in a new guitar. Playing this guitar is all romance; it takes you back in time to that golden era–and this 00-40H plays incredibly smoothly. A proud survivor of the 80 years, this guitar has decades of music left in it, and let’s face it, they don’t make ’em like these anymore: you owe it to yourself to play this guitar before all of its brethren disappear.
We loved this one so much that we teamed up with Al Petteway and recorded it on our latest album: Dream Guitars Volume II Hand Picked, track #1, “I Don’t Want To Be Sad No More.”
