For Sale: Martin Custom 000 Italian Alpine/EIR, Thin Nitro, Hide, Slotted Headstock $3k

[ITB]

SWEET Custom Shop Martin 000

Sweet and shimmery short-scale 000 constructed with Martin "Authentic Feature" Hide Glue and Thin Finish with a fine, creamy Italian Alpine Spruce top with lots of silking and a bit of bearclaw, 1/4" Sitka bracing. The back is custom 3-piece East Indian Rosewood for clean 000 bass, with contrasting center wedge. I call it an 000-35 for its 3-piece back and 1/4" bracing but with many upgrades and black walnut replacing the "35" white plastic binding, and no binding on the fretboard. No plastic or micarta or ivoroid on this all-wood Martin (except the black plastic bridge pins). Bound slotted headstock.

Great intonation, zero fret wear and medium-low action. It's loud! Low profile mahogany neck (without the Performing Artist Taper). Like-new mint condition with mint Martin molded case.

John - that is one of the most beautiful, understated and classy looking custom Martins I've ever seen, good luck with the sale.

You mention 1/4 bracing, is it scalloped, GE scalloped, or unscalloped?
