Smile SOLD 2019 Martin Custom Shop 000 Adi/Sinker Mahogany

GUITAR IS SOLD...

Hi All -

I am really disappointed to let this one go - it is a fantastic 000. Unfortunately, the nut width & neck profile, puts my hand in exactly the wrong position, aggravating a wrist injury - my hope had been the short scale would add some relief, but no luck. So, now this one is up for sale.

This is a Custom Shop 000 with Adi top and Sinker Mahogany back/sides. Sinker is amazing, and I admit, I was skeptical. But, the depth of tone is fantastic and to my ear, there is a richness in tone that I don't normally hear with this wood combination. It truly is a phenomenal sounding guitar - played finger style, or played with a plectrum, it sings. Incredibly versatile with a nice, rich bass and clear trebles.

I am the original owner and the guitar is about as clean as you can get in a used guitar. No dings, dents, or visible fret wear. Comes with OHSC and yep, it still has that Martin smell. Please, feel from to PM or email with any questions!

Specs include:
  • 1 3/4" nut with MLO w/ PA Taper neck profile
  • Adirondack Scalloped 1/4" Golden Era Bracing
  • Sinker Mahogany Back/Sides
  • Grover Nickel Tuners
  • Width at 12th Fret 2 1/8"
  • String Spacing 2 3/16"

$xxxx net to me and I will cover shipping in the CONUS

Smile Gruhn content

George Gruhn raves about his recent CS Martins with these tonewoods so does Vince Gill. They ought to know...

If Kori says this is a good one, then it is extra good, I wager

Best on this and may your wrist be happy and LIKE NEW asap.

I’ve played a few Sinker Martins at Gruhn and they were all great! Drooling here as well.

Thank you, Paul! I hope you are doing well.

This really is a wonderful guitar - I am sick to see it go, but someone will be thrilled with it!

Kori has wonderful taste in guitars. Each of hers I’ve seen here has been a stellar example. If she says it’s a “good one”...it’s a great one.

Wish I could pony up for this one, but someone here will enjoy!

Geez Kori, now even the MLO with PA taper neck is bothering your wrist? Man I'm sorry to hear that! That is going to substantially reduce your Martin choices, at least from 2018+ models onward.

Hope all is well and GLWS.

Hey Brendan,

It is frustrating to be sure! It is trial and error right now and you nailed it...I just reduced options quite a bit.

Hope all is well with you!

Thank you both. I confess, it is a drool-worthy guitar.

All PMs have been answered, as well!

Thanks, all.
