Martin Custom Shop Dreadnought Black Walnut Factory Exclusive

This model, along with its 000 counterpart, are available for purchase exclusively when visiting the Martin Factory. This is the 2nd time we've taken one of these back to the shop with us from a recent factory visit; it was an immediate staff favorite and we were psyched to get back to Nazareth to choose some more treasures from the Custom Shop.

The Black walnut on this model was sourced domestically, making it one of the most truly American-built Martin guitars currently in production. Walnut is a great tonewood, splitting the difference mahogany and rosewood tonally. This dread sounds like nothing else that Martin offers, while retaining that classic Martin quality and feel. We love these walnut customs, come on in and check it out!
