Martin Custom Odyssey: A Sea-Weathered Beauty With Stories to Tell

Unleash the spirit of adventure with this Martin GPC-14 Custom Order Acoustic-Electric Guitar, a musical companion that has traveled the globe. The original owner, a seasoned sailor, carried this guitar on his sailboat, playing gigs from the Mediterranean to Southeast Asia, from the Virgin Islands to the Polynesian chain. This guitar has serenaded exotic sunsets and moonlit beaches, bearing the marks of its storied journey.

Crafted with an Italian Alpine Spruce top and solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides, the GPC-14 delivers a rich, balanced sound that has filled the air of countless exotic locales. The quilted bubinga binding adds an elegant touch, while the Red Heart Abalone “Vine of Harmonics” inlay on the black ebony fingerboard guides your fingers effortlessly across the frets.

Despite the noticeable blemish near the lower bout, this guitar’s sound and playability remain unaffected. The wear and tear only add character, telling tales of adventures on the high seas. The Fishman F1 Analog electronics ensure that every note is captured with pristine clarity, making it perfect for any performance setting.

The preserved mammoth ivory nut and saddle, although worn from years of playing, still contribute to the instrument’s superior tonal quality and sustain. The alternate torch inlay on the headplate and engraved Waverly gold tuning machines reflect the impeccable attention to detail that Martin is renowned for.

This Martin GPC-14 Custom Order Acoustic-Electric Guitar, with its full gloss, non-catalyzed finish in Amber Tone 1933, is more than just an instrument; it’s a piece of history, ready to inspire the next chapter of your musical journey. The original owner is selling both his boat and this cherished guitar after decades at sea, offering a rare opportunity to own a truly unique instrument.
