You better have a seat before looking at this one. Another Custom Shop Expert masterpiece. And a Tobias Music Exclusive.
A stunning new creation from the master luthiers at the Martin Custom Shop—exclusively for Tobias Music. Part of our Fall 2024 Custom Shop Expert Series, featuring tonewoods personally selected by our team during a recent visit to the Martin factory in Nazareth, PA. The Tobias Music Custom Shop Series guitars are starting to arrive !!
This particular model turned out exceptionally well. We chose a striking set of premium Ziricote for the back and sides, paired with an outstanding premium Sinker Redwood top. Using the iconic 000-28 as our base model, we crafted a very comfortable OM body that’s truly one-of-a-kind. The unique combination of Ziricote and Sinker Redwood delivers a tone that’s refreshingly distinct—offering a clear yet warm tone with a strong voice. One of the best sounding guitars we’ve had.
A 000-size custom Martin guitar with Ziricote back and sides and a Sinker Redwood top offers a beautifully nuanced and responsive tonal palette. Here’s what you can expect:
Tone Profile:
Warm, Rich Overtones -
The Sinker Redwood top brings a warmth and complexity often compared to cedar, but with a bit more headroom and dynamic range. It has a rich overtone content, making it perfect for fingerstyle, light strumming, and expressive melodic playing.
Deep, Clear Bass with Sparkling Highs -
Ziricote is known for its striking visual beauty and tonal qualities similar to rosewood—deep low end, clear trebles, and a slightly scooped midrange. Combined with Sinker Redwood, it adds clarity and depth to the bass response while allowing the highs to shimmer.
Balanced and Articulate -
In a 000 body, the projection is focused and articulate, favoring balance over raw power. The smaller body highlights nuance and touch sensitivity, making it ideal for solo work and recording.
Responsive and Touch-Sensitive -
The Sinker Redwood top responds easily to a lighter touch, rewarding nuanced playing with a wide dynamic range. It may compress slightly under heavy strumming, but that’s part of its charm—ideal for expressive, emotive players.
Expect a guitar with a lush, complex tone, excellent note separation, and a balanced voice that’s well-suited for fingerstyle, light strumming, and nuanced picking. The Ziricote/Sinker Redwood pairing in a 000 size offers both visual elegance and tonal sophistication. This one is very nice. Your new family heirloom has arrived.
