The 12-fret 0-style guitar has a long and storied place in Martin’s history, representing one of the company’s earliest and most elegant body designs. Compact in size yet powerful in voice, the 0 model delivers a warm, balanced tone with remarkable responsiveness, making it a favorite for fingerstyle players, blues enthusiasts, and traditional folk musicians.

This Custom Shop creation pairs a Western Red Cedar top with beautifully flamed mahogany back and sides, producing a rich, articulate voice with clear fundamentals and woody overtones. The scalloped 1/4" spruce bracing enhances projection and sustain while keeping the instrument lightweight and highly resonant. The slotted headstock and 12-fret neck joint evoke the golden era of acoustic guitar design, giving this instrument a distinctly vintage charm while retaining the refinements of modern Custom Shop craftsmanship. A hand-applied 1935 Sunburst finish highlights the cedar’s grain and brings a touch of vintage authenticity. Premium appointments — including European flamed maple binding, paua inlays, and bone bridge pins with paua dots — give this guitar a striking visual presence.

Playability is equally refined, with a comfortable low-profile neck, ebony fingerboard, and a short 24.9" scale that makes fretting effortless. The slotted headstock and gold decal logo provide a period-correct aesthetic, while the hardshell case ensures protection for this heirloom-quality instrument. Whether you’re a collector seeking a historically inspired guitar or a player wanting the responsiveness and intimacy of a small-bodied Martin, this Custom Shop 0 12-Fret delivers a blend of artistry, tradition, and tonal beauty that few instruments can match. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this custom crafted Martin comes with a hardshell case for reliable protection and convenient transport.
