Martin Guitar has created some of the finest guitars in the world for over 180 years. They're the choice from professionals to beginner guitar players. Martin offers a program where a dealer can visit their factory in Nazareth, PA and pick out a Custom Shop "Factory Exclusive" guitar to sell in the store. That is exactly what Tracey and Jamie of Bill's Music did and the result was this very guitar. This model was beautifully designed by Martin Custom Shop Sales Specialist, Jimmie Kleintop Jr. Besides having a guitar where each and every detail was meticulously thought over by a Martin Custom Shop Specialist, an advantage to the Factory Exclusive is that you get Custom Shop Craftsmanship at a Production price. If you were to spec this model out you would find it is valued at way above its $3999.00 price tag. Stop in and check it out today!
