The Martin Custom Shop 0000-12F Sinker Mahogany in 1935 Sunburst is a rare and beautifully crafted instrument that blends historic Martin design language with premium, responsibly sourced tonewoods. Built with a VTS-treated Adirondack spruce top and sinker mahogany back and sides, this 0000-size (also known as M-body) 12-fret model projects a warm, focused tone with exceptional balance. The 12-fret design adds natural resonance and sweetness, while the body size enhances low-end response without overpowering the clarity of the trebles. Finished in a vintage-inspired 1935 Sunburst, it has the look and feel of a true Golden Era instrument.

The "Style 18"-inspired appointments, including faux tortoise binding, an Old Style 18 rosette, and diamonds and squares abalone inlays, recall Martin’s historic pre-war aesthetics while giving this guitar a timelessly elegant appearance. The sinker mahogany, reclaimed from rivers where it has aged naturally underwater for decades, imparts a unique richness and depth to the tone. Paired with scalloped Adirondack bracing, the result is a guitar with incredible headroom, dynamic range, and responsiveness.

This Custom Shop creation is perfect for fingerstyle, singer-songwriters, and light to medium strumming, excelling in folk, Americana, blues, and acoustic jazz settings. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this guitar’s combination of lush overtones and fundamental clarity makes it equally at home in the studio or on stage. With premium craftsmanship, vintage-inspired character, and heirloom-grade materials, the Martin Custom Shop 0000-12F Sinker Mahogany offers a deeply inspiring playing experience for discerning musicians.
