Style45 is loved by many artists and remains an aspirational presence throughout the ages...
"Someday it'll be 45" is a phrase that could be said to be a common language among Martin fans.
This instrument is an auditorium model that has been customized even more gorgeously based on the coveted masterpiece 45.
A deluxe masterpiece worthy of the 50th anniversary model.

This instrument was made by dedicated staff at the Martin Factory.
It is made using the finest materials, carefully selected and meticulously selected by the custom shop staff on site.

The special piece was carefully selected together with Danny Brown, a friend of ours at the custom shop.
Premium-grade Italian Alpine spruce top for beautiful looks and tap tone.
The back is made of Guatemalan rosewood with beautiful sap grain.

Truly gorgeous. A fitting 50th anniversary model.
If I were to compare it to something else...
The rare Chateaubriand, also known as the "phantom cut" and "ultimate red meat"...
Is this the kind of material you'd imagine?

It combines delicacy and richness, with a high-quality umami-filled overtone...
Such beautiful sounds that your ears will almost burst...

And once you turn your eyes,
The beautiful inlay work, which highlights the craftsmanship of the custom shop, is simply breathtaking.


That gorgeous look...
A wide range of rich tones across all frequency bands...

Once you experience it, you'll never forget it.

Just by lightly plucking the instrument, you can feel the beautiful ripples of sound throughout your whole body...
Each sound is a gem of a tone.
A supreme instrument with a luxurious presence and sound that is unmatched by any other.


It is not often possible to create an instrument that has been perfected to this extent.
Even if we could produce it, we have to say that it would be extremely difficult to offer it at the same price.
Don't miss this opportunity that has come at this milestone 50th anniversary.

I hope this will be a turning point in your life...
