Martin Custom Shop D-14F High Altitude Swiss Spruce & Cocobolo

Hand-picked by Rudy and the Scarsdale crew during a recent visit to the Martin Guitar Factory in Nazareth, PA. The particular piece of Cocobolo on the back of this guitar blew us away and we knew we had to bring it back to the shop. It's quite lightweight for a large-bodied guitar built with such a dense hardwood for the back and sides. The guitar's tone combines deep lows with balanced trebles, and a rosewood-like response; its sound is big, bold and beautiful! See full list of specs below.
