Step into the world of pre-war guitar craftsmanship with the Martin 000-45 Joe Bonamassa, a meticulously recreated tribute to one of the most storied instruments in blues history. This exclusive limited edition, with only 45 units available worldwide, faithfully reproduces Joe's cherished 1941 000-45 (serial number 76993) - a guitar that remained in Southern California for decades before finding its way to Joe at a moment when its sale helped save a woman's home.
The guitar showcases premium Adirondack spruce top treated with Martin's Vintage Tone System® (VTS) to capture the warm, resonant tones of a well-aged instrument. Paired with VTS-treated Adirondack spruce X bracing and Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, it produces the rich, balanced sound that has made Martin a legendary name for generations. The unique neck profile is a faithful reproduction of Joe's original pre-war 000-45, enhanced with an adjustable truss rod for modern playability.
Every detail has been meticulously recreated by Martin's experts, from the period-correct gold enclosed gear tuners exclusive to Martin, to the snowflake inlays on the fingerboard that match the original model. With only 265 pre-war 000-45s ever made, this limited-edition recreation represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of musical history. Complete with certificate of authenticity, vintage hang tag, and period-correct hardshell case, it's destined to become a treasured heirloom for generations of musicians.
