C.F. Martin Custom Shop 000 Bearclaw Sitka Spruce w/ Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood Back & Sides (s/n: 2041)

For Northeast Music Center, the Custom Shop experience begins long before the finished guitar reaches our showroom.

Our proximity to the Martin factory allows us to make the journey to Nazareth and personally examine the available tonewoods when selecting materials for special instruments.

That opportunity is extraordinarily meaningful.

Photographs can show figure.

Specifications can identify a species.

But neither can replace standing in front of the actual wood.

We can turn a set of rosewood in our hands.

We can examine the grain from different angles.

We can look for the character that makes one set stand apart from another.

And ultimately, we can select the wood that we believe deserves to become a Martin Custom Shop instrument.

That is the difference between simply ordering a guitar and participating in its creation.

A Martin With an Individual Identity

The purpose of the Martin Custom Shop has always been to allow musicians and dealers to create instruments beyond the boundaries of the standard production catalog.

For us, that opportunity begins with the materials.

The model and specifications are important. The craftsmanship is essential. But when a truly exceptional set of Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood becomes the foundation of the instrument, the guitar takes on an identity that cannot be replicated by a standard catalog description.

It becomes an individual.

And that individuality is exactly what we look for when selecting instruments for the Northeast Music Center collection.

From the Wood Room to Your Music Room

The journey of this guitar began at the Martin factory in Nazareth.

It continued through the careful selection of its materials and Custom Shop specifications.

And it ultimately leads here—to Northeast Music Center, where the finished instrument can be experienced by a musician who understands that a truly exceptional guitar is about much more than a name on the headstock.

It is about the connection between the player, the instrument, and the materials from which it was created.

For musicians throughout the Northeast and beyond, Northeast Music Center has become a destination for exceptional Martin guitars because we believe the process of finding the right instrument should be every bit as rewarding as owning it.

This Martin Custom Shop guitar represents that philosophy.

Exceptional wood. Thoughtful selection. Martin craftsmanship. One individual instrument.

From the Wood Room to Your Music Room.
