This is a truly exceptional piece, crafted without any compromise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The base model is the 00-42 style, which enjoys a strong following among Martin enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e The compact and charming 12-fret joint body shape, adorned with elegant torch inlays, embodies the aesthetics of the '42 style. Combining the traditional Golden Era style look reminiscent of the pre-war era with special material selections unique to this tour, this guitar is truly worthy of being called the \"ultimate masterpiece.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The top is made of Carpathian spruce, and the sides and back are made of rare Madagascar rosewood, which was available as a special offer from Martin for this guitar only.\u003cbr\u003e We have luxuriously selected premium grade materials for both types of wood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Carpathian spruce used for the top wood is a rare material mined in the Carpathian Mountains of Eastern Europe. It is characterized by a combination of the brilliant overtones unique to European spruce and the powerful punch of Adirondack spruce.\u003cbr\u003e This time, we've chosen a piece that's densely packed, with a strong wood grain pattern, and brimming with energy. It achieves both excellent balance, with clear sound from low to high frequencies, and a powerful tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The side and back of the guitar are made of Madagascar rosewood, a material that Martin has discontinued using in both its regular models and custom orders due to its rarity.\u003cbr\u003e However, for this tour, only dealers who visited the site were permitted to use it in limited quantities.\u003cbr\u003e This carefully selected piece boasts a deep, lustrous reddish-brown color, and deliberately avoids flashy grain patterns, instead exhibiting the clean, well-balanced beauty of high-quality wood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Once you strum it, you'll be amazed by the dynamic range, which is far beyond what you'd expect from its small size.\u003cbr\u003e The 12-fret joint produces a deep, enveloping, and rich tone. The combination of Carpathian and Madagascar wood adds a silky sheen and a projection that reaches far and wide.\u003cbr\u003e It responds with incredible tenderness to delicate touches and sharp responsiveness to strong picking. Its luxurious appearance belies its supreme tonal quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This special guitar was made possible thanks to a special offer from Martin, and there is no guarantee that it will be produced again.\u003cbr\u003e Sound, looks, and rarity.\u003cbr\u003e Don't miss this opportunity, where every detail has been meticulously considered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-SPEC-\u003cbr\u003e Top: Carpathian Spruce (Premium)\u003cbr\u003e Side＆Back: Madagascar Rosewood (Premium)\u003cbr\u003e Bracing: GE Style Scalloped X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Neck: Genuine Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Neck Shape: GE Mod low Oval \/ High Performance Taper\u003cbr\u003e Bridge Style: Modern Pyramid\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: Black Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard: Black Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Headplate: Madagascar Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Headplate Inlay: Torch\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard Inlay: Style45 Snowflake(Long)\u003cbr\u003e Rosette: Style45 Boltaron\u003cbr\u003e Spinguard: None\u003cbr\u003e Binding: Antique White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Scale: 24.9 inches (632 mm)\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width: 1 3\/4 inches (44.5 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Finish: Clear Full Gloss\u003cbr\u003e Tuning Machine: Waverly Gold 4063-G\u003cbr\u003e Bridge Pins: Bone with Paua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hard case included","brand":"MARTIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43213197312113,"sku":"857969","price":18829.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/CTM_00-42S_Carpathian_Spruce__Madagascar_Rosewood_-Factory_Wood_Selection_Custom_Model-_01.jpg?v=1778395315","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/zh-hant\/products\/857969","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
