A Custom Shop Dreadnought in the Martin Tradition
The "D" in Martin refers to the Dreadnought shape, a cornerstone of folk sound for a century. This Custom Shop D EIR (East Indian Rosewood) continues the legacy of the brand's great D-Style guitars, featuring premium "Style 45" appointments and carefully selected tonewoods. It combines timeless aesthetics with contemporary manufacturing precision.
Who Is This Guitar For?
Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a characterful folk guitar for powerful strumming, precise flatpicking, and expansive fingerstyle. Its projection and dynamics make it an excellent partner for vocal accompaniment, acoustic solo playing, and recording.
Sound Characteristics
The Sitka spruce top delivers attack, definition, and a wide dynamic range. The East Indian rosewood back and sides reinforce the bass foundation, provide silky highs, and scooped mids for a natural stereo image when miked. The Sitka spruce bracing and large Dreadnought body promote projection and generous sustain, with a quick response to both pick and fingers. The glossy "Aging" finish allows the body to breathe and contributes to an open, already "mature" tone.

- Hard case for Dreadnought 14-fret model for optimal protection during transport.
