Default Martin Custom 000-28 12-fret *SOLD*

This is a 2018 CUSTOM SHOP, wild grain EIR/Swiss Moon. Specs are on attached sheet. Neck has not needed so much as a truss rod tweek, action is buttery with great feedback into your hand up and down the neck. Tone - deep, harmonic, concussive. You can feel it in your hands, even with a light attack like mine. More like a -42 in tone and explosiveness. One of the more symmetrical and "wilder" wild grain sets I've seen.

Guitar is virtually unmarked. I'm the original owner.

NO LONGER FOR SALE - 9/19/20
BACK ON THE MARKET -11/20/20

$XXXX - 2/14/21

Curious about its delivery as a 12 fret 000.
What is the depth of the box at the tail?
What is the nut and saddle composition?

This Jeff thinks it’s a beauty too. Haven’t seen many 000 12 fretters that are short scale. Given the pick guard, play it with a flat pick or was the pick guard more a visual preference?

Jeff

Hey Jeff - I haven't used a flat pick in decades. They go flying across the room. Guitar came with the guard on.

In the interim I replaced the Schaller GrandTune nickel tuners with GrandTune antique copper w/ polybone buttons. Strictly cosmetic but I love the vintage look and feel. I'll stick originals in case pocket.
