This custom Peter Martin build captures the clarity and immediacy of a classic single-cut layout, reinterpreted through a modern, handcrafted approach. Finished in Daphne Blue, the body features clean, familiar lines with a balanced weight and a comfortable contour that sits naturally against the player.
The instrument is built around a pair of carefully voiced pickups from The Creamery in Manchester, delivering articulate attack, open note separation and a responsive dynamic range — equally suited to nuanced clean work and controlled drive. Its bridge assembly and hardware choices prioritise stability and precise intonation, allowing the guitar to retain its character across a broad tonal palette.
The neck is shaped for confident playability: a refined profile, smooth fretwork, and a finish that feels unobtrusive in the hand. Combined with Peter Martin's attention to wood selection and resonance, the result is an instrument that feels immediate, lively, and dependable.
This is a classic silhouette elevated through small-batch craftsmanship — familiar in form, but executed with the focus and sensitivity of a dedicated luthier.
