We had the chance to spec out guitars to be custom built by Martin. We were also thrilled by the prospect of being able to hand select our own wood at the factory, aided by Custom Shop representatives and tonewood experts.  That began a relationship that has continued for multiple custom runs over a number of years.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe knew we wanted to represent an interesting variety as far as models and exotic woods, but we also wanted the guitars to sound as best they could, never sacrificing tone for bling. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis Martin Custom Shop version of a 000-28 with\u003cspan\u003e Birdseye Maple \u003c\/span\u003eis a true example of that theory coming together in the best possible way. \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe look of the guitar itself would be enough, but the materials, construction and appointments make it all the more special.   \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe stunning hand-selected Birdseye Maple is what draws your eyes at first, but as beautiful as it is, this wasn't done just for aesthetics.  Maple is one of the most acoustically transparent tonewoods, due to a low velocity of sound and a high degree of internal damping.  It's dense and bright, something that some players desire as a counter to other woods like mahogany.  \u003cspan\u003eOn this guitar, we also chose an Italian Alpine Spruce top, which is a bit warmer, to offer a balance against the Birdseye Maple.  It's a very focused tonewood, so this is perfect for fingerpicking.  This is a vibrant guitar, in both looks and sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe didn't stop there.  To add to the uniqueness, we also went with matching Birdseye maple for the binding - a small addition that really makes this guitar stand out.  It's safe to say that you've never seen a guitar exactly like this!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe neck is Martin’s popular modified low oval with high performance taper, making it very comfortable to play for hours.
