Introducing the Martin 12-fret Custom Dreadnought, a masterful blend of classic craftsmanship and modern design precision. This steel-string acoustic guitar is tailored for musicians who appreciate both rich tonal depth and aesthetic finesse. With its 12-fret neck joint, this guitar offers a unique playing experience, enhancing both the tone and playability. This feature shortens the neck, positioning the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout, which results in a warmer, more resonant sound.

The dreadnought body shape is celebrated for its powerful projection and dynamic range, making it a versatile choice for various musical genres. The guitar's top is crafted from high-quality Sitka spruce, known for its strength and elasticity, ensuring a robust yet responsive sound. The back and sides are made of select East Indian rosewood, delivering a rich bass and clear trebles, while the ebony fingerboard provides smooth playability.

Martin's attention to detail is apparent in every aspect of this instrument, from the intricate rosette to the precision of the fretwork. Whether you're strumming in a studio or performing on stage, the Martin 12-fret Custom Dreadnought promises to be a reliable companion, offering a timeless sound that only gets better with age.

‘The closest guitar to me is my new Martin. Martin Guitars, who I am endorsed by and play religiously, built me a custom shop acoustic. Myself and Fred at the custom shop collaborated on some ideas. To me it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s sort of a mixture of the two guitars that I play. I have the 1944 00-17, which is sort of a smaller body, which I use for fingerpicking and solo stuff, the other guitar is a 67 D-28, which I kind of play more with the band. I kind of wanted to do a mixture of those two guitars in a way. It’s a smaller-body dreadnought, so it’s not as big as a D-28 or D-18. It’s a 12-fret model, so the neck’s smaller on it, and it’s got a slotted headstock, which I really like – kind of like an old, classic style – but it has like a honeyburst, kind of finish to it, and it has a beautiful floral inlay up on the headstock. It’s really, really amazing and Fred’s done an amazing job on it. It’s got Brazilian rosewood on the sides and back, and I’m pretty sure it’s a spruce top. I’m not really sure on the rest of the woods. I’m not that well-learned on the arts of the woods. All I know is that it looks great and it sounds great. And that’s the best part.’ -Dallas Green; Source: 'Green's Peace' by Guy Little, http://www.acousticmagazine.com/interviews/greens-peace/
