Built in Martin's Custom Shop, this Factory Exclusive D-14 Fret is a rare dreadnought crafted with premium tonewoods and vintage-inspired appointments. Featuring a Sitka spruce top paired with reclaimed Sinker Mahogany back and sides, it offers the powerful projection of a traditional dreadnought while adding exceptional warmth, depth, and harmonic complexity that only aged sinker mahogany can provide.
The Sitka spruce top is supported by scalloped 5/16-inch Sitka spruce bracing, giving the guitar outstanding responsiveness, dynamic range, and clarity. Whether played with a flatpick or fingerstyle, it delivers a rich, balanced voice with strong fundamentals, articulate mids, and a full low end.
The ebony fingerboard and bridge provide excellent note definition and long-term durability, while the compensated bone nut and saddle ensure precise intonation and efficient transfer of string vibration. A Modified Low Oval neck with Performing Artist taper offers a fast, comfortable playing experience suitable for long sessions on stage or in the studio.
Visually, this Custom Shop model pays tribute to Martin's heritage with Old Style 18 black and maple fiber binding and rosette, a 1933 Authentic headstock decal, and Gotoh nickel butterbean tuners. The gloss body finish is complemented by a satin neck for a smooth, natural feel.
Factory Exclusive instruments like this are produced outside Martin's standard catalog, making them highly desirable for players seeking something truly unique.
