Martin Custom Shop Sitka/Rosewood Acoustic Guitar #6904

This Martin Custom Shop Size 2 is the kind of guitar that feels personal before it ever gets loud. Built with a VTS Sitka spruce top and premium Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, it brings high-end Custom Shop materials into a smaller 12-fret body that is all about touch, detail, and balance. The aging toner top, gloss body, slotted headstock, and rosewood binding give it a refined vintage character without making it feel overly dressed up.

The voice is clear, responsive, and surprisingly full for its size. The VTS Sitka top gives it a more open, played-in feel, while Guatemalan rosewood adds depth and sustain without overwhelming the smaller body. Scalloped 1/4 inch X-bracing keeps the top lively, making it a great fit for fingerstyle, light strumming, and intimate playing where nuance matters. It does not try to be a dreadnought, and that is the point. It gives you a focused, expressive voice that responds easily to a lighter hand.

The feel is comfortable and traditional in all the right ways. A 24.9 inch scale length, 1 3/4 inch nut width, and 2 1/4 inch string spacing give the player plenty of room while keeping the guitar relaxed under the hands. The Modified V neck, ebony fingerboard, modern pyramid bridge, and dovetail neck joint all reinforce the vintage-inspired Custom Shop build. Finished with relic-style engraved Golden Age tuners, black pins with paua, and a premium Guatemalan rosewood headplate, this Martin Custom Shop Size 2 is a beautifully voiced small-body guitar for players who value refinement, responsiveness, and character over sheer volume.
