Frequently Asked Questions
The 1935 Sunburst involves a slightly thinner finish, which allows for more top vibration and a touch more resonance than a heavier gloss finish, though the difference is subtle.
While based on standard Martin profiles, the Custom Shop allows for subtle variations; expect a comfortable, slightly modified 'Modified Low Oval' profile.
Consistent humidity between 45% and 55% is crucial to prevent cracking in the Cocobolo; a hygrometer and case humidifier are highly recommended.
