Martin Custom Shop Auditorium Body, 42 Style, Engelmann Spruce/Ziricote, 6 String #4584
SKU: 10CMDFGLC25-044584A dramatic 42-style custom auditorium finished in solid black over an Engelmann Spruce top, with Ziricote back and sides supplying deep figure and a dense, focused voice with strong fundamental. Abalone pearl runs the perimeter of the top and follows the fingerboard profile, joined by style 45 mosaic back purfling, long style 45 snowflake inlays and a black ebony headplate with no logo, so the appointments read as texture rather than ornament against the black finish. Hand-shaped Golden Era scalloped X bracing and the long 25.4-inch scale keep the response quick and the notes well separated. The 12/4 genuine mahogany neck is carved to a GE Modified Low Oval, dovetailed to the body and finished gloss throughout, carrying a black ebony fingerboard at a 16-inch radius with a 1 3/4-inch nut, bone nut and compensated bone saddle.
