Martin Custom Shop CS-OM-C23036426 #2814865 - natural aging toner

The MARTIN & CO Custom Shop CS-OM-C23036426 #2814865 is an Orchestra Model 14 fret steel-string acoustic guitar for which the Star's Music team selected the woods on site, in the Custom Shop Martin workshops (in this case set #48). All the woods are solid, of course, and it features a Sitka Spruce top and bracing, a Honduras Rosewood back and sides combo, and an Ebony fingerboard.
Sitka spruce is the traditional choice for the vast majority of acoustic guitars. Thanks to a perfect balance between robustness and elasticity, Sitka generates a direct, punchy sound with impeccable articulation. These characteristics give this species great tonal flexibility and adaptability to virtually any playing style: strumming, flatpicking or fingerpicking. Highly prized, Honduras Rosewood is much denser than other rosewood species. This contributes to its harmonic richness and complexity. It produces incomparable hushed tones while preserving the clarity of more traditional rosewoods. For all these reasons, Honduras Rosewood is the ideal choice for the most prestigious acoustics.
