Full Description

Exceptional Tonewoods for Superior Sound

The Martin Custom Shop CS-SC-2022 is crafted with only the finest tonewoods to ensure superior sound quality. Its East Indian rosewood back and sides produce rich, warm tones that are bigger and bassier than its predecessors, making it perfect for any style of music. The VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM (VTS) top is made from spruce with an asymmetrical partial soundboard recurve, giving it a coveted aged Martin tone. Adirondack Spruce with VTS braces and a Tone Tension X Brace pattern provide excellent support for the top, ensuring even more resonance and superior projection. With these tonewoods, the CS-SC-2022 produces a full-bodied sound that is unparalleled in its class.

Amplify your sound with complete authenticity

The Martin Custom Shop CS-SC-2022 comes equipped with Fishman Aura VT Blend electronics, which ensures great sound quality whether you're recording or performing live. The Fishman Aura VT Blend system combines an undersaddle pickup with Fishman's Aura Acoustic Imaging Technology, which recreates the sound of a high-end microphone within the guitar. The result is natural and dynamic acoustic tone that is faithful to the instrument's unique sonic characteristics. With the Fishman Aura VT Blend electronics, you can rest assured that your playing will sound great no matter what the venue or recording setting.

Impressive hardware for superior performance

The Martin Custom Shop CS-SC-2022 is packed with impressive hardware that enhances its performance. The Liquidmetal bridge pins add both volume and style to the guitar's aesthetics, while the carefully crafted sloped modern belly-drop in saddle bridge style offers superior intonation and sustain. Its compensated bone saddle also ensures a great playing experience. The gold open-gear tuners provide excellent tuning stability and are visually stunning with their classic design. Additionally, the nut has a width of 1 3/4 inches, which provides enough space for fingerpicking and strumming. With these features, the CS-SC-2022 delivers outstanding performance and is a delight to play.

Unmatched playability with low profile velocity neck shape

The Martin Custom Shop CS-SC-2022 is designed with playability in mind. Its low profile velocity neck shape is ergonomically designed to accommodate your hand as you move up the neck, providing the comfort and playability of an electric guitar. The neck taper is also a high-performance taper, which makes it easier to access higher frets. With its Sure Align Linear Dovetail Neck Joint construction and internal soundboard recurve, the CS-SC-2022 offers full access to all frets, making it easier to reach those high notes. The fingerboard is made from ebony, a highly durable and dense material that provides a smooth playing surface. It features custom inlays made from abalone with mother of pearl, adding to its already impressive aesthetics. With its exceptional playability and premium materials, the CS-SC-2022 is a true masterpiece that will make you want to play for hours on end.
