This model is inspired by a certain iconic dreadnought design, while still maintaining its unique Martin identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar body comprises a Sitka spruce top and solid genuine mahogany back and sides. The Sitka spruce is valued for its superior stiffness-to-weight ratio, which contributes to a potent sound projection. Solid genuine mahogany imparts a visual contrast to the Spruce and affects the overall tonality. The bracing is scalloped Sitka spruce, designed in pattern 38B with a thickness of 5\/16\". This bracing arrangement, integral to the guitar's sound projection and stability, prioritizes balance between strength and resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional elements are displayed in the Old Style 18 Abalone fingerboard inlays and the Style 18 purfling. These, combined with the Old Style 18 Boltaron rosette and a Faux Tortoise pickguard, add a vintage appeal. The neck, fashioned from genuine mahogany and paired with an East Indian rosewood fingerboard, holds 20 German G300 frets. The neck profile is a Modified Low Oval with a High Performance Taper, designed for player comfort and versatility. Adorned with a Full Gloss finish, the Ambertone 1933 top enhances the guitar's aesthetics. The back and sides remain unstained, highlighting the Mahogany's natural beauty. A protective Martin Hardshell case is included with the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Martin Custom Shop Sloped Shoulder Dreadnought is a clear representation of Martin's continuous dedication to refining the blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern guitar-making necessities. This collaborative effort with Russo Music, as a Martin Custom Shop Expert Dealer, is an homage to the rich history of acoustic guitar design and Martin's commitment to quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a small nick on the upper bout on the bass side, about the size of the tip of a pen. The pickguard shows scratching from playwear. The back shows light scratching from playwear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55487865684136,"sku":"ISS20375","price":4299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/ISS20375USED2023CUSTOMSHOPSLOPEDSHOULDERDREADAMBERTONEWOHSCMARTIN_2.jpg?v=1778080618","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/2023-martin-custom-shop-sloped-shoulder-d-14-1933-ambertone-w-ohsc-used","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
