2010 Martin 0-42 Custom Shop Madagascar/Engelmann
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).

2007 Martin 000-42M Eric Clapton 94 of 250 Madagascar/Carpathian
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.

1976 Martin D-35 Shaded Top Indian/Sitka
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!

2013 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.

1989 Martin HOM35 60th Anniversary #21/60 Brazilian/Sitka Spruce
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.

1989 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.

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.
