Martin Acoustic Guitars - 2024 Custom Shop GP Grand Performance - Big Leaf Maple - Used

This Custom Shop Grand Performance is a stellar standout build, draped in eye-catching aesthetics and powerful tone. Featuring a pair of exceptional tonewoods that lend this build to a distinct voice: a High-Altitude Swiss Spruce top paired with flamed Big Leaf Maple back & sides. The spruce being subject to harsher conditions and shorter growing seasons results in a tighter grain pattern that has a mellower, sweeter voice that responds fast, perfect for fingerstyle or other intimate forms of playing. The Big Leaf Maple plays a crucial supportive role, supplying a strong fundamental and body to buttress the delicate nature of the top. With such gorgeous tone, it's a testament to the Custom Shop's reputation for zero compromises in look or sound. Lookswise, this guitar pulls out all the stops sporting Paua Pearl 45-style purflings rosettes, hexagon inlays and flamed maple body, neck, and headplate binding, as well as gold hardware down to the bridge pins. All presented in Excellent condition since its inception in 2024, with just a few small marks around the sound hole, invisible unless seen at a perfect angle. A showpiece of the highest caliber from Martin's top of the line craftsman, comes with the original hardshell case. 14-Fret Grand Performance with Gloss Toasted Burst finish Solid High-Altitude Swiss Spruce Top Big Leaf Flamed Maple Back & Sides Flame Maple Body, Neck, & Headplate Binding Style 45 Black Maple Fiber Antique White Rosette Golden Era Scalloped, Forward Shifted X-Bracing 25.4" Scale length Mahogany neck Matching Headstock CFM Block Headstock Paua Pearl inlay Ebony fingerboard with 20 frets, Style-45 Reduced Hexagon inlays 20 frets 1 3/4" nut width, Bone Bone drop-in saddle with 2 5/32" string spacing Ebony Modern Belly-style bridge Gold Bridge Pins with Paua Pearl Dots Waverly Gold Open Gear Tuning Machines with Butterbean Buttons Original Hardshell case Serial # 2880844
