Hand-picked by Rudy during a visit to the Martin Factory in Nazareth, PA in November 2023, this great Martin Custom Shop small body guitar is the slightly reduced GP (Grand Performance) shape, a more modern interpretation of the "small jumbo" body size. Coupled with a gorgeous set of flamed Koa back and side, this guitar is punchy yet measured, and can cover a whole bunch of genres.
