About this listing
You are looking at a 2023 Martin Custom Shop D-14 Fret Dreadnought wearing a very rare Red, White & Blue full gloss finish so bold, so patriotic, and so aggressively confident that bald eagles have reportedly attempted to perch on the headstock. This is not a guitar that whispers. This guitar salutes. If George Washington played acoustic, this would absolutely be hanging on the wall at Mount Vernon.Let’s get this out of the way: yes, it’s real. Yes, Martin actually built it. And yes, it somehow manages to look completely unhinged and insanely classy at the same time. The Sitka spruce top keeps things sonically respectable, while the East Indian rosewood back & sides make sure it still sounds like a proper, grown-up Martin — not a novelty firework stand.This thing booms. Like “clear your throat and sit up straight” boom. It’s a full-on dreadnought that delivers piano-like lows, ringing highs, and a midrange that politely but firmly demands attention. You don’t play this guitar — you make a declaration with it.Now let’s talk about the fretboard, because Martin clearly decided subtlety was overrated. The bound black ebony fingerboard is adorned with rare Pentangle Stars inlays, which look like they were stolen off a medieval knight’s shield and politely inlaid by someone with a doctorate in restraint. It’s classy, mysterious, and just a little intimidating — like a tuxedo with combat boots.The mahogany neck features Martin’s Modified Low Oval profile, measuring .838" at the 1st fret and .906" at the 9th, finished in a smooth white satin that feels fast, comfortable, and weirdly addictive. Your hand will not want to leave this neck. You may need to set boundaries.Up top, the matching Navy Blue headstock overlay with the mother-of-pearl CFM Martin logo ties the whole patriotic fever dream together. Add the CEO-7 style rosette, antique white binding, and Grover nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean buttons, and suddenly you’re staring at a guitar that looks like it should be played before Congress.She’s 100% Custom Shop, unapologetically rare, and guaranteed to make every other dreadnought in the room feel underdressed.Specs:Model: Martin Custom Shop D-14 Fret DreadnoughtFinish: Red, White & Blue Full GlossTop: Sitka SpruceBracing: 5/16" Sitka Spruce, ScallopedBack & Sides: East Indian RosewoodBinding: Antique WhiteRosette: CEO-7 StyleNeck: MahoganyNeck Profile: Modified Low OvalNeck Measurements: .838" 1st fret, .906" 9th fretScale Length: 25.340”Nut Width: 1-3/4" (Bone)String Spacing: 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" x 2-1/4”Fingerboard: Bound Black EbonyFingerboard Inlays: Pentangle StarsBridge: Black Ebony, Modern BellySaddle: Bone, Drop-InBridge Pins: EbonyTuners: Grover Nickel Open Gear with Butterbean ButtonsPick-guard: Single-ply CelluloidHeadstock Overlay: Navy Blue with MOP CFM Martin LogoSerial #: 2713229She was born in 2023 and is in mint condition, with no issues, no cracks, no regrets, and no apologies.
