Description
Taking the concept of attention to detail to a whole new level is the limited edition Martin Custom Shop DC Aura, of which only 13 were made. Between its incredibly resonant body, made of a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, and the tonal excellence of Fishman’s F1 Aura+ electronics system, this guitar marvelously upholds the standards of quality and sound Martin has established since its inception. This Custom Shop’s prominent appointments stand as a testament to that integrity and include no less than a black ebony fingerboard, bridge, bridge pins, and tuning machine buttons. Each of these facets is also decorated with vibrant abalone inlays to match the D-45 Style rosette that provides this gorgeous guitar an aesthetic center. It also features a more traditional non-catalyzed lacquer finish, similar to earlier high-end pieces from Martin’s past. This is an incredibly well-designed limited edition Custom Shop Martin that will be sure to shine for any player lucky enough to give it a home.
