This is a rare Martin 1833 Custom D, one of just 14 ever made. These were originally distributed through only 14 special Martin dealers. This stunning shade top Martin  Dreadnought features premium Madagascar Rosewood and an Italian Spruce top. It is adorned with 42-style Abalone trim and fret markers, bridge inlays, and a gorgeous alternate torch headplate. Flame Maple bindings wrap it all up beautifully. The voice of this one is magical, shimmering, big and confident. Everyone here just loves it. It really stands out and shows how much premium woods effect the voice of a fine instrument.

This is special. I’m a sucker for a shaded top, and Martin doesn’t do that many of them so they always seem special. This one is simply beautiful with the 42-style appointments to go with the sunburst. The wood combination of Madi/Adi is well proven to have a classic prewar voice.
One of the nicest dreadnoughts I've played. I love the sunburst and the black pearl tuning buttons. This is a real find.
