Martin Custom Shop 000 12-Fret

Premium Exceptional Broad Figure Hawaiian Koa • Certified High Altitude European Swiss Spruce

Some guitars are built from premium materials.

Others are designed around a vision.

This extraordinary Martin Custom Shop 000 12-Fret was personally designed by our Martin Custom Shop Expert Team using hand-selected tonewoods from Martin’s renowned Wood Vault. The goal was simple—create a remarkably responsive fingerstyle instrument that combines old-world Martin tradition with breathtaking visual elegance.

The centerpiece is a stunning set of Exceptional Broad Figure Hawaiian Koa, chosen for its dramatic figure and beautiful tonal character. Paired with an exceptionally responsive Certified European High Altitude Swiss Spruce top, this guitar delivers remarkable clarity, warmth, articulation, and dynamic range.

Built on Martin’s classic 000 12-Fret platform, the bridge placement farther into the center of the lower bout unlocks an incredibly rich, open voice with exceptional sustain and surprising bass response—all while maintaining the focused articulation that has made the 000 one of Martin’s most beloved body styles.

This is a guitar designed to inspire every time you open the case.

✅ Why We Chose This Guitar

Every specification on this instrument was selected with purpose.

Instead of building another traditional rosewood Martin, our Custom Shop Expert Team wanted something exceptionally responsive, visually unforgettable, and capable of producing remarkable tonal complexity.

The combination of Premium Broad Figure Hawaiian Koa and Certified European Swiss Spruce offers an ideal blend of warmth, clarity, projection, and evolving tonal maturity. As koa continues to open with age, this guitar will only become richer and more complex.

The 12-fret body design enhances resonance while creating an incredibly comfortable playing experience for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and anyone seeking maximum responsiveness from a lightly built Martin.

✅ Tobias Music Expert Opinion

After nearly 47 years as a Martin dealer, we’ve learned that the truly memorable custom guitars aren’t simply expensive—they possess a personality.

This guitar has that personality.

The High Altitude Swiss Spruce responds with incredible speed and sensitivity, while the figured koa adds warmth, sparkle, and beautiful harmonic overtones.

The result is a guitar that feels alive under your fingertips.

Whether you’re gently fingerpicking or digging in with a flatpick, the instrument responds effortlessly without ever feeling compressed.

This is the kind of custom Martin that becomes someone’s lifetime guitar.
