2024 Martin Factory Tour
-Custom Shop Factory Wood Selection Custom Model-
The Martin Custom Shop is the pinnacle of modern Martin, where all products are handmade by around 20 skilled craftsmen, only the most skilled of whom are allowed to work in the vast factory.
This is a carefully crafted masterpiece, created by Ikebe Musical Instruments' acoustic staff who visited the Martin factory and selected the finest wood materials that are only used in custom shops.

This is a custom model made in the image of the old-style 0-18 from around the 1920s.
This is a non-pickguard 0 (single O) 12-fret joint style, which is known among Martin fans as the "ultimate beauty."
With a slotted headstock, back-stamp logo, and straight bridge, it has a simple yet elegant design that will appeal to connoisseurs.

The top is made of premium-grade Adirondack spruce, with a pure white color and beautiful, well-defined grain, while the back and sides are made of classic mahogany.
The tone is typical of the old-style 18, warm, mellow, comforting, and gently enveloping.
When selecting the top, we chose a material that was neither too hard nor too soft, allowing for the light response unique to the small body, so the entire body responds well even to light strumming.The enveloping low frequencies have a strong presence, and you can enjoy a voluminous sound that makes you forget the size of the single-oh guitar.

Place it next to your bed and pluck it before you fall asleep at night...it's the kind of instrument that will allow you to spend an elegant and luxurious time. It's an instrument packed with the charm of a compact mahogany guitar, so if you're a mahogany fan, be sure to give it a try!

By default, it is strung with compound strings, but if you try using regular steel strings, you'll get a slightly more gleaming sound.
We recommend extra light to custom light bronze strings.

This is a product that I would recommend to anyone who is particular about both sound and looks.
Don't miss out on this rare opportunity!
