Martin 000-45 Joe Bonamassa Guitar - Limited Edition

The Martin 000-45 Joe Bonamassa is much more than just an instrument – it is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and a piece of music history. Inspired by Joe Bonamassa's treasured 000-45 from 1941, this limited edition is limited to just 45 pieces worldwide. Every aspect of this model has been carefully recreated to create a tribute to the golden era of guitar making.

Equipped with a high-quality top made of Adirondack spruce treated with Martin's Vintage Tone System® (VTS), this guitar captures the warm, resonant tones of a well-aged instrument. Combined with X-bracing made of Adirondack spruce and back and sides made of fine Guatemalan rosewood, it produces a full, balanced sound that inspires and delights musicians.

The story behind this model is just as fascinating as its sound. Joe's original 000-45, serial number 76993, was passed down through three generations in Southern California starting in 1941, and finally found its way to Joe many years later when his sale helped save a woman's home. Martin has meticulously reconstructed every detail of this heirloom, including the authentic neck profile and contemporary gold tuners that give the original a vintage touch.

Each guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity, a vintage tag and a stylish hard case that underscores its historical authenticity. With only 265 models made before the war and only 45 of this special edition, the Martin 000-45 Joe Bonamassa is a must-have for collectors and a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of music history.
