The Martin Custom Shop presents Sinker Mahogany as a premier tonewood option, prized for its exceptional tonal properties and unique backstory. This rare material originates from old-growth Honduran Mahogany trees that were once transported by rivers, eventually sinking to the riverbed where they lay submerged for decades, and sometimes even centuries. This prolonged submersion facilitated a natural aging process, endowing the wood with an irreplicable character. Guitarists covet its warm, well-balanced tone characterized by robust midrange and silky highs. Moreover, the stability and resilience of Sinker Mahogany render it an ideal choice for guitar construction, ensuring both durability and consistent quality over time. This 0000-18 example is in excellent condition and shows minimal evidence of wear. Comes with its original hard case.
