Question Martin tenor guitar custom shop?

Here is a question that I was wondering if anyone might know - does the Martin custom shop do tenor guitars at all? I know sometimes they'll come out with some, or may do a limited run for someplace, but is it possible to do one through the custom shop? I've messed around on the Martin custom shop but haven't scene that as an option.

IME you might have more success if you go through one of their more high-profile dealers - try bouncing your idea off Maury @ Maury's Music or Ted @ LA Guitars and see if they can make it happen for you...

I’m sure they’ll build one for you if you ask.

Only one way to find out…..

Why even bother ordering a new one and have to wait?

Here's 30 used Martin tenor guitars on Reverb......or close to 30. There's a couple of tenor ukuleles and a really odd 6 string Martin with a tenor guitar body, or so it says........

If I were going custom, I would at least consider an independent builder. My own tenor is a one-off by David Newton, sort of his take on the 2-28T:
