An Iconic Body Shape, Reinvented by the Custom Shop
The Martin "00" has long embodied the elegance of small-body guitars. This 14-fret version, crafted by the Custom Shop, combines the historic comfort of the 00 format with a selection of premium woods and precision luthiery, creating a collectible instrument designed for both stage and studio.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Due to its size and short scale, this 00 Eir will appeal to intermediate to expert guitarists seeking finesse and expressiveness. Perfect for fingerstyle, folk, acoustic blues, and vocal accompaniment, it also excels in modern picking where spectral balance and responsiveness are essential.
Sound
The solid grade 8 Sitka spruce top delivers a wide dynamic range with clear attacks and a rich tone. The solid Indian rosewood Wild Grain adds deep lows, elegant mids, and silky highs for a lush harmonic palette. The carved X-bracing increases sensitivity at low volumes while maintaining strong projection. The 00 body provides a very clear balance, ideal for open voicings and nuances. The 24.9" / 632.5 mm scale length reduces string tension for smooth playability and a slight warmth in tone, while the bone nuts enhance articulation and sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
- Sets of phosphor bronze strings gauge 12-54 (same as original setup) to preserve balance and tension suited to the short scale.
- Acoustic guitar capo (folk size) to maintain intonation and clarity on the 16" radius.
- Case humidifier and hygrometer to stabilize humidity for a solid wood instrument.
- Strap with headstock tie for secure attachment without needing an extra strap button.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Martin Custom Shop 00 Eir suitable for fingerstyle?
The 00 body size and carved X bracing enhance responsiveness at low volume, a key feature for fingerstyle playing. The nut width of 44.4 mm provides string spacing well-suited for finger work.
What tone does the solid Wild Grain Indian rosewood provide?
The back and sides of premium solid Wild Grain Indian rosewood deliver deep bass, elegant midrange, and silky highs. Paired with the solid Sitka spruce grade 8 top, this construction produces a rich harmonic palette.
Is the short 632.5 mm scale length comfortable?
With a 24.9-inch (632.5 mm) scale length, string tension is reduced. This results in more flexible playing and a slightly softer tonal quality.
What strings should be installed on this 00 guitar?
The original setup uses Martin Phosphor Bronze Treated strings with a 12-54 gauge. This gauge maintains the balance and tension designed for the short scale length.
Which capo and strap are recommended for the 00 Eir?
An acoustic guitar capo suits the 16-inch fretboard radius. A strap with a headstock tie allows attachment without adding extra strap buttons. A case humidifier and hygrometer help to stabilize the moisture level of the solid wood.
