How do I order a Martin Custom Shop Guitar?
Ordering your Martin Custom Shop guitar is easy! We routinely stock many great Custom Shop guitars right here on our site. These guitars are available for purchase now. However, if you have an idea for your own custom build, just contact our sales team to get started. You can submit a full list of specifications and supporting images, or you can simply start with the base model you like and some ideas for custom additions or changes. We’ll help you get your ideas dialed-in and submit them to Martin for a quote. After submission, you can expect to receive a quote within a few days to a couple weeks, depending on the complexity of the build. Quotes are free with no obligation to purchase. Along with the price quote, you’ll receive a full spec sheet and an ETA for the build. Then the decision is yours to dive into a custom-made Martin build!
How Much is a Martin Custom Shop Guitar?
Pricing for Martin Custom Shop guitars can vary widely depending on the complexity of the build. Prices can range from $2,000 range to over $50,000. The best way to get an accurate cost for your Martin Custom Guitar is to request a quote through Strait Music.
In general, every spec change will have an impact on pricing. The higher you go with the style number (18, 28, 45, etc.) for your base model, the higher the price. Adding pearl inlay will increase the price. And the type of wood can also significantly impact the overall cost of a custom. For example: a custom guitar with rosewood will naturally be more expensive than one with standard mahogany. But you don’t have to worry about all of that. Strait Music can help you navigate through the selection process to build you the guitar you want at the price that works for you.
How Long Does it Take to Build a Martin Custom Guitar?
Martin Custom Shop guitars are in high demand. And while the wait time for a Custom Shop build is anywhere from a few months to about one year, they are well worth the wait. Build time can vary based on the complexity of your order, availability of materials, and time of year that your order is placed. Strait Music will be able to get you an accurate build time during the quote process.
