The MARTIN Custom Shop Limited Edition Joe Bonamassa 000-45 #2917432 is as much a piece of history as it is a musical masterpiece. It’s more than just an instrument – it’s a meticulously crafted recreation of Joe's treasured 1941 000-45. This exclusive model, with only 45 units available, is a tribute to a golden era of guitar making, echoing the craftsmanship that has made Martin a legendary name for generations. The guitar features a premium Adirondack spruce top treated with Martin’s Vintage Tone System® (VTS) to capture the warm, resonant tones of a well-aged instrument. Paired with VTS-treated Adirondack spruce X bracing and Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, it delivers a rich, balanced sound that will inspire any musical journey for years to come. Joe’s original 000-45, serial number 76993, has a captivating story of its own. A beloved instrument passed down through three generations, the guitar had never left Southern California since it was first purchased in 1941. Many years later, it ultimately found its way to Joe at a moment when its sale helped save a woman’s home. The experts at Martin meticulously recreated every detail of this mint-condition guitar, including its hide glue construction and unique neck profile, which is a faithful reproduction of Joe's original pre-war 000-45, while adding an adjustable truss rod to ensure modern playability. The period-correct gold enclosed gear tuners, exclusive to Martin, also provide a touch of vintage charm. Even the snowflake inlays on the fingerboard are crafted to match the original model. A certificate of authenticity, vintage hang tag, and period-correct hardshell case add to its authentic appeal. Only 265 pre-war 000-45s were ever made, and with just 45 of these limited-edition models available, this guitar is a true collector's dream, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of musical history that promises to be a treasured heirloom for generations.The Martin VTS (Vintage Tone System) is a proprietary torrefaction process. VTS acts like a time machine. It allows Martin’s team to recreate not only the warm visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.
Adirondack is considered as one of the best Spruce available. Lots of clarity, excellent projection and sweet midrange.
Guatemalan Rosewood possesses similar tonal qualities to Brazilian Rosewood which is now placed under the CITES restriction. It is considered by most to be one of the premier tonewood for steel string guitars, offering a warm, rich and powerful tone.
