Martin Custom Shop Willcutt Exclusive 00 28 Style 12-Fret Italian Alpine Spruce/Broad Figure Koa (694)

A Martin Custom Shop Willcutt Exclusive 00 28 Style 12-Fret that pairs a premium Italian Alpine spruce top with breathtaking Exceptional Broad Figure Koa back and sides, creating a remarkably responsive and visually stunning small-body instrument. Built on Martin's classic 12-fret Grand Concert platform, this Custom Shop creation offers the warmth, balance, and intimacy that make 12-fret guitars so beloved, while the combination of Italian Alpine spruce and premium koa provides exceptional clarity, responsiveness, and harmonic richness. The exceptional broad figure koa ensures every instrument is uniquely beautiful, with dramatic figuring and a voice that blends mahogany-like warmth with rosewood-like complexity.

The 12-fret design shifts the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout, enhancing bass response, sustain, and overall resonance. Golden Era scalloped 1/4" bracing further increases responsiveness and dynamic range, making this guitar equally inspiring for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and recording musicians. Traditional Style 28 appointments, diamonds and squares long inlays, bold herringbone trim, and a thin gloss finish complete a package that honors Martin's vintage heritage while showcasing premium Custom Shop craftsmanship.
