MARTIN CTM 000-18 1937 Authentic Burst / Polished Head -Factory Tour 2024 Pre-Built Custom- Martin

-Factory Tour 2024 Pre Build Custom-
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.
Pre-Built Custom, which can only be purchased by dealers participating in the Martin Factory Tour.
Unlike shop-ordered items, these masterpieces are created using materials carefully selected by experienced custom shop staff who have produced custom models from all over the world, and innovative ideas.From unique idea models to models made using rare and unusual woods that are only available at certain times, these are special works that allow you to experience the design of the custom shop.

This is a masterpiece based on the famous 000-18 Authentic 1937 model, finished in a sophisticated burst color.
The top is made of Adirondack spruce, and the back and sides are made of beautiful, wild-grained mahogany.
The bracing, which is the core of the sound, is made of the same Adirondack spruce as the top, and by adopting a forward-shifted scalloped Golden Era style, it inherits the specifications and sound of the authentic guitar.
On the other hand, the neck is a MOD-Low Oval shape with an adjustable rod that is satin-finished, and the saddle is a standard short saddle, making it easier to use than the Authentic.The neck shape in particular is recommended for those who find the ``thick V-neck that is unique to the Authentic'' difficult to handle.

The thick, dense, crisp sound typical of the 18-style Adirondack top is very pleasant, and this guitar is packed with the charm of a good mahogany guitar.
Thanks to the expertly hand-scalloped bracing, the picking response is excellent, with instantaneous response from pianissimo to fortissimo. Recommended for a variety of playing styles, from fingerstyle to flatpick.
The sophisticated burst color on the top recreates the Authentic 1937 Burst style. The headstock features a gloss finish with abalone inlays, making it a luxurious addition. Another small detail is the straight-line bridge, adding a touch of elegance and charm.

The Authentic Future specification is not available in regular custom orders, so it's a special specification that can only be found in pre-built custom orders. Even when selecting the guitar on-site, it had a particularly brilliant sound and aura.
Although it is an expensive instrument, it is worth much more than that. Don't miss this opportunity to purchase it.
