Every now and again, you get a shot at something truly unique. Case in point: This Martin Custom Shop 28 Style Dreadnought with an Adirondack spruce top and flamed mahogany back and sides. Specially spec'd out by our Martin-loving team here at Russo Music, this Martin Custom Shop Expert build represents a unique artistic outlook brought to life by the artisans over at the Martin Custom Shop.

Here at Russo Music, we're delighted to hold the distinction of being a Martin Custom Expert dealer. What this means is we're part of a small circle of dealers privy to special and exclusive Martin Guitar models and builds. Where this brings us today is to this Martin Custom Shop dreadnought acoustic model with a number of high-quality specifications and woods. A one-of-a-kind model throws it over to a number of historical sights, sounds, and shapes for an altogether unique and compelling Custom Expert model.

This Custom Expert "D" Dreadnought begins with a Martin "D" dreadnought body brought together by Adirondack spruce and two-piece premium flamed mahogany – the latter of which hand-selected by us here at Russo Music. Rich and exquisite producing a full, authentic Martin dreadnought sound, these two tonewoods are decked out with Martin's Aging Toner gloss finish and Spanish cedar ribbons, respectively. Imparting a classy lived-in visual quality, this Custom Expert dreadnought's woods are visually, tangibly, and audibly breathtaking. Within the dreadnought body, Martin's X-Brace pattern comes together with hand-shaped scalloped spruce braces for expanded projection and tonal nuance. The model's 12-Fret dreadnought form hearkens to lesser-seen acoustic designs with a deeper reach on the neck that meets the body at the twelfth fret.

From here, this Custom Expert "D" brings on a select hardwood neck assembled through dovetail neck joint construction with Martin's Modern Adhesive. This more modern assembly features further uniqueness with a Modified V profile and a satin lacquer finish for a softer, geometric feel in hand. The model's High Performance taper compounds on this modernity for an effortless feel at every position.

The modernity of the neck is matched with an impressive fingerboard. Oiled black ebony makes up this board with twenty Standard frets across a sixteen-inch radius. An effortless feel on the fingertips complements this Custom Expert's intricate Mother of Pearl Maltese Snowflake inlays for a dazzling look up-close-and-personally.

Backing up this arrangement, this Custom Expert "D" features a number of high-quality hardware specifications. At the base of the 25.4" scale length, a black ebony Golden Era Modern Belly bridge lands with a drop-in compensated bone saddle. This element introduces a stable connection string-to-body while a bone nut and Grover nickel tuning machines plant strings at the headstock for smooth stringing and tuning accuracy. The headstock, as it happens, is another standout of this model with its square-slot slotted configuration that bends from usual Martin tradition.

Aesthetically, this Martin Custom Shop dreadnought shines with a number of intricate flourishes. On its flamed mahogany back, HD Zig-Zag back purfling appears for a detailed aesthetic element. Additional appointments coalesce across this model with a Style 28 Boltaron soundhole rosette, Antique White body binding, and mahogany body and neck stains with a rosewood neck filler top off the finer regions of this dreadnought for a totally impressive piece at every level.

For the 12-Fret dreadnought and slotted headstock fans of the world, this Martin Custom Shop Expert piece is a work from one artist's hands to yours.

Fantastic adapter for international travel
Style: Type C/G/A-Most Countries-3FT
This adapter worked as intended when needing to charge devices in Europe. The adapter was easy to attach to the plug and the cord length came in handy for sockets that were in hard to reach locations. The only thing is it does take up some space in luggage, so make sure to account for that. Would definitely recommend for international travel.

Stunning Automatic Watch With TopTier Durability and Precision
Color: Grey
“I got this Tissot PRX for my cousin’s birthday and bro fell in LOVE instantly. This thing keeps time like a beast, never slows down, never lags. Automatic movement, so no batteries, no drama. Durability? Stupid good. You can hit it, bump it, live life rough, it still looks box fresh. Size wise it was almost perfect. I just had to remove two links, nothing big. It’s light, functional, comfortable, doesn’t weigh you down, doesn’t get in the way but more importantly I can say this watch is in everyone’s eyesight when we wear it. Cause of course I had to get another one! Basically. I gave him a very nice piece as a gift, and now he’s walking around like he owns Switzerland.

Excellent value for an automatic watch, keeps VERY good time.
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I've only had the watch for a day but wanted to leave a quick review on it to share a couple of notes. So far it keeps VERY good time, better than any of the automatics I own (including a Rolex Submariner, Tag Heuer Aquaracer, Tag Heuer Formula One, and several other sub $1k watches). I set it to an atomic time app on my phone yesterday and 24 hours later it's still SPOT on - hasn't gained/lost even a 1/10 of a second. I was shocked to see it's kept PERFECT time for the last day, I'm really blown away so far. I've worn it the entire time, we'll see how well it keeps time while being stored in a winder. This picture shown is the watch with a 22mm leather band on it, fit's without any issues (just need to squeeze in the leather a tad). I doubt it would work with a 22mm metal bracelet, but leather works great. Just FYI since the 21mm lug width is kind of odd. The face isn't quite a lustrious as the images make it look, but it's still a great-looking watch. For a sub $1000 automatic you can't go wrong, this is a fantastic watch at a great price. It'll be my daily driver for some time I'm sure. If I have any issues in the future I'll update the review.

Really cool and beautiful watch. Although my specific unit runs 5 seconds fast every day—at first it’s annoying, but eventually you stop caring. 🤣
