This Martin Custom Shop 00-12F Wild Grain Rosewood is a stunning example of craftsmanship that bridges Martin’s historic design traditions with modern playability. With its compact 00-12 fret body size, scalloped bracing, and a shorter 24.9" scale length, this guitar delivers a warm, responsive voice with exceptional clarity, making it equally at home for fingerstyle playing, intimate vocal accompaniment, or light flatpicking. The Wild Grain East Indian rosewood back and sides provide depth and resonance, while the spruce top offers projection and balance, producing a tonal palette that feels alive under the player’s hands.

Martin’s legacy of Style 28 appointments dates back to the mid-19th century, where it quickly became known as the company’s flagship style — valued for its balance of tonal sophistication and understated elegance. Recognizable features like diamonds-and-squares fretboard inlays and maple or herringbone trim became hallmarks of these instruments, which were favored by generations of players across genres. This Custom Shop guitar honors that lineage with long diamonds-and-squares inlays in select abalone, European flamed maple binding, and a vintage-inspired Style 28 rosette.

Best suited for folk, blues, fingerstyle, and singer-songwriter genres, the 00-12F’s clear articulation and focused midrange make it an ideal recording instrument, while its comfortable 12-fret neck joint and slotted headstock lend a distinctly vintage playing experience. Whether you’re performing in a quiet studio or enjoying the intimacy of a songwriter’s circle, this guitar offers an inspiring blend of tradition, beauty, and sonic versatility. Available now in excellent used condition at Haggerty’s Music, this Martin custom shop beauty comes with a hardshell case for convenient transport and reliable storage.
