About This Martin Custom Shop Guitar
Martin Custom Shop J 18 Style VTS Spruce #2898429
This is a big full sounding and articulate Custom Shop J-18. The VTS Spruce adds a little power and note separation! It has a great look and sound. This one was a pre-build Custom Shop model offered by Martin during my spring trip to the Martin Factory.
