..... Ah, very nice! A good example of what the Martin CS is capable of doing!

Wow John, you are full of cool guitars! I played one of these some time ago at the NYC 14th St Guitar Center and it was awesome. Totally destroyed the OM-28 Authentic they had in stock at the time. Short scale, super responsive, and very beautiful in person.

Now THAT is one beautiful, desirable Martin!

I have same guitar I bought from AGF ‘er unreal the beauty and craftsmanship !!! Priced very well here! My advise but buy buy lol [emoji23]

Thanks to all for the nice words.

Brendan-I've gone from standard OM-42's and 000-42's, to 000-42 Marquis', to OM-41 Specials, to Custom Martin 000-42's, to this CS-00041-15 and it beats them all for tone and playability. It's the closest thing I've gotten to Brazilian for that clear, glassy sound. Highest quality Martin I've ever found.;)

will someone please buy this so I can stop ogling it and get back to work?:D

It's not just you. There isn't a place I've taken this guitar where eyes haven't popped. And that includes folks who don't even play guitar. It is easily the most finely detailed Martin I have ever encountered. In short, a collectable and playable work of art. It's plainly obvious that the Martin Custom Shop was trying to send a message to high end, boutique builders with this model.

To those who have asked and commented about the Cocobolo back and sides-

Yes, there is a great variation in Cocobolo generally. Some sets, like on this guitar, look closer to Brazilian. Some are darker and less red or orange.
Many sets are not cut on the quarter like this set. They are slab cut, and while still extremely beautiful to look at, are not my choice for a guitar of this level.
Martin can be all over the board with their rosewoods and cuts. Look at their other guitars made from Madagascar RW for instance. Some are nicely quartered, others are slab cuts. Different strokes. . . .

The tone of the Cocobolo is bright and punchy with a full bass. It is not anything like EIRW in tone. No mud here and fewer overtones. Very clear and articulate notes. Much closer to Brazilian in sound. So, if you really love the EIRW tone or don't like the Brazilian sound, this is probably not the guitar for you, looks or no looks. The video posted with Matt from Eddie's playing is really quite accurate in demonstrating the sound of this model. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71pyPD9W3W0

Thanks for the trade offers, but it's priced for sale only.

Just wondering: does it have a paper label? The specs say these guitars do, but I've never seen one that does.

No paper label ever and I've never seen one with one either. I feel cheated. . . .:D

One very close offer, but still available.

It's priced more than right for the quality and tone.

Hit me with your best shot!

John

That's a great guitar at a great price. Good luck with your sale!
