Location: Phoenix AZ | FOR SALE: CUSTOM MARTIN SLOTHEAD
This guitar is a custom build off a 000-16 base specification. Neck block just says "Custom". Absolutely new condition, spotless and perfect in every way. Custom figured solid Koa back and sides, ebony binding, Sitka top, 1-3/4 bone nut, bone saddle, 12 fret neck, slotted headstock, herringbone rosette. Basically all the goodies you could want.
I can't tell you how perfect this guitar is. I mean, it would pass for brand freaking new! I upgrade the tuner buttons to grained ivoroid. I never installed the end pin strap button, but I can do that for you if you like.
The setup is absolutely perfect and the tone is clear as a bell. There is something about small bodied guitars that just "works" with koa back/sides. Of course the price includes the very high quality Gieb style hardshell case also in great condition. The guitar and case have never left my house since I acquired this guitar about 6 years ago. Only reason I am selling is to make room for a similar 12 fret slothead that's on it's way
Price is $1700. which includes 2 day FedEx shipping in the CUSA
Email or PM if you have questions.
This was a custom build, so you won't find it on the Martin website. But there is a lot of detailed info on my MARTIN GALLERY . Including the full spec list.
Thanks for looking. |

see it in the OFC social site under my album pics... |
