{"product_id":"peter-martin-guitars-walnut","title":"Peter Martin Guitars - Walnut","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis custom Peter Martin build takes a classic silhouette and pushes it somewhere unexpected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe body is cut from a single, carefully selected piece of walnut, chosen for the depth and movement in its grain as much as its tone. Rather than a sprayed lacquer, it's finished with a hand-applied 50-layer oil finish built up in the manner of a French polish, but with oil rather than shellac, giving a pebble-smooth, tactile surface that never loses the sense that you're holding a natural wood instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eElectronics are voiced around a DiMarzio True Velvet in the bridge and a PAF-style Anniversary humbucker in the neck, wired in an inverted Peter Green-style out-of-phase configuration, with the addition of a 4-way switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGold hardware throughout, anchored by a 6-saddle Gotoh bridge for accurate intonation and reliable tuning stability. The neck carries a comfortable 10\" radius and 25.5\" scale length, built for confident, familiar playability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: One-piece walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: 50-layer hand-applied oil finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: 25.5\" scale, 10\" radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge pickup: DiMarzio True Velvet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck pickup: PAF Anniversary-style humbucker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring: Inverted Peter Green-style, 4-way switch (series\/parallel)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe story behind this build\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis one didn't start out as a walnut and gold build at all. The original idea was a George Harrison rooftop rosewood body and silver hardware. But rosewood in the size needed for a one-piece body turned out to be eye-wateringly expensive, and a stunning single piece of walnut presented itself as the alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOnce walnut was in, rosewood-and-silver became walnut-and-gold. And once the material and hardware had flipped, it seemed only fitting to flip the rest of the concept too so the pickup layout followed suit, swapping the classic single-coil bridge for a humbucker because Keith Richards is the opposite of George Harrison... funny how things turn out. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Martin Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58156800868734,"sku":null,"price":2650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0787\/8014\/files\/03336F56-91F5-46E3-88CF-54F61CEE0F51_1_206_a_373a1030-19f6-4747-bf6c-ed8245bc4595.jpg?v=1790504929","url":"https:\/\/www.craftedguitars.co.uk\/products\/peter-martin-guitars-walnut","provider":"Crafted Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
