Hi there,

Let's open a thread to register the owners / players of any Martin Clapton Limited edition.

I'll start with mine, a 00042 ECM, released in 2008. Mine is #250/250. I'll post pictures asap!

HD Elliot Easton Custom Limited edition

feeds@yuku.com (bill dedrick) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 16:01:03 GMT

I own two Elliot Easton guitars HD--2006 (#13 & 20) and I am impressed by the sound, sustain, clarity, volume, projection, vibration that comes out of that instrument each time I play...I also own a 91' HD-35, 2009 D18-V, 2009 HD28-V, and 2009 D42. None of them sound like the Elliott Eastons in terms of Balance, clarity, projection, sustain etc...A true cannon with that vintage bone sound but with unreal clarity and string separation..... Does anyone know the production numbers...

OM body shape with dreadnought depth?

feeds@yuku.com (Topographic) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:02:58 GMT

Has anyone ever had a guitar with this configuration? It would seem the best of both worlds...The reason I'm asking is because a friend of mine had a Gurian, and if I remember correctly, it was a small-body but with much deeper depth. It was an amazing guitar. I'm kicking around ideas for a custom order.

Final Questions Marks

feeds@yuku.com (robingjoman) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:48:28 GMT

I have a few things a need to straighten out before i place the final order on my custom! Hope you guys can help.

What is TOP GRADE and how does it affect the sound of the guitar? Is there any standard measurements when talking about the TOP GRADE
What does FINISH TYPE: Gloss/Satin Neck mean? If i change this will it affect the other finish options like TOP FINISH and such?
FRET WIRE: G300, are the frets smaller than standard frets?

Hope you guys can give me a...

D-18VS or 000-18NB?

feeds@yuku.com (razfcc) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:53:07 GMT

Put another way....to 000-18NB or not to 000-18NB, that is the question.....I am in between a full blown rock and a hard place. I have the opportunity to buy either of these wonderful guitars (new) at a really nice discount. The price is not really the issue for me; with the only issue being that I can't by both (so no easy out advice there). Right now it is a toss-up. They both sound so very very nice. I could list a few pros and cons - but don't want it to skew your...

The triangular thing before the head stars. I'm making a custom and i need to make shure it comes with, its a beautiful detail. But what should i specify this thing as to make it clear for the martins folk that it needs to be one on my guitar!

Where to get the most detailed spec?

feeds@yuku.com (robingjoman) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:33:48 GMT

Right now im working on a custom and would REALLY like a super detailed specs on a few models. Were can i get a spec that is much more detailed than the ones on martin website?

Colored inlays

feeds@yuku.com (robingjoman) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 07:04:45 GMT

Well is it possible? I want red gold and pearl (which is standard) but i asked Jon and he didn't know if it was possible to get colored inlays. Anyone of you guys know anything about it?

what is the up charge for getting a custom made?

feeds@yuku.com (dalt83) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 18:58:46 GMT

Like if I order pretty much an 000-28ec, without sig (actually making a change here or there, but I know that will add or subtract from the total), what can I expect to pay just b/c it was made through the custom shop? Or will it cost the same as a stock ec. I know the answer is probably on here, but after searching some I hadn't really found a direct answer. So please help me out or point to the appropriate thread. Thanks!

Anyone know the specs of the D-18 Del McCoury model?

Going custom

feeds@yuku.com (robingjoman) — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 09:16:47 GMT

Okey guys! Jon needs to have my order next week to get me the guitar in time. I have never ordered custom and im pretty nervous. My main idea is to get the om-28 jm but without all the signture stuff and some modifications on my own. First i wanted the om-28v but with 1 11/16'', 2 1/8''. But then i heard the om-28 jm and it sounds awesome. Im writing here to hear some of your thoughts about my idea. And if you want i would be really thankfull if you could give me some tips on...

custom pickup

feeds@yuku.com (Henderson is go) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 13:46:22 GMT

I think I am going to order a custom Martin in a month or two, and when it is finished, can I go to the factory to pick it up, or does it have to get shipped to the Dealer?

Understanding nomenclature

feeds@yuku.com (Koanut) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:47:44 GMT

I just got a beautiful Koa D45 Custom. I have some questions about terms used on the build sheet.

If it says "select abalone" is that still ablam?

In the "Top" section, under "Pattern" it says "DOMLE #3A" Translation?

Under "Top pearl" it says Select abalone, Mitered corners" What are metered corners?

In the "neck section" it says Gen. Mahagony (I can figure that out) 12/4 w/pearl boarder,...
