Martin Custom Shop Willcutt Exclusive 1902 00 45 Style Adirondack Spruce VTS/Guatemalan Rosewood (295)

The Martin Custom Shop Willcutt Exclusive 1902 00-45 Style is an heirloom-quality recreation inspired by one of the most elegant instruments from Martin's golden era. Built around a premium Grade 7 Adirondack spruce VTS top and premium Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, this custom 12-fret 00 combines remarkable responsiveness with exceptional harmonic richness. Golden Era scalloped 1/4" X-bracing provides impressive volume and dynamic range from its compact body, while period-correct details—including the slotted headstock, pyramid bridge, Modified V neck, and satin neck with gloss body—capture the spirit of the original 1902 Style 45. The showpiece is its stunning 1902 Tree of Life fingerboard inlay, complemented by a matching 1902 Style 45 pickguard inlay, both executed in select abalone for an unmistakably historic appearance.
