Martin Custom Shop 00 Size 12 Fret Sinker Mahogany, VTS Sitka Spruce TopIn the winter of 2019, we spent some time at the Martin Guitar Factory learning about the features and benefits of Sinker Mahogany. The wood used on the back and sides of this guitar is hand selected by Russo Music from a batch of premium Belize Mahogany that had been pulled from the murky, muddy depths of the Central American river system. For hundreds of years, these timbers have been washed over by sediment as they aged to perfection on the floor

In the winter of 2019, we spent some time at the Martin Guitar Factory learning about the features and benefits of Sinker Mahogany. The wood used on the back and sides of this guitar is hand selected by Russo Music from a batch of premium Belize Mahogany that had been pulled from the murky, muddy depths of the Central American river system. For hundreds of years, these timbers have been washed over by sediment as they aged to perfection on the floor of these former logging highways. The logs are excavated by locals in Belize and processed at the Martin Factory for use by the Martin Custom Shop.

This 00, 12 fret, flattop guitar is the picture of intentional design, from engineering to aesthetic. The 12-fret neck joint shifts the bridge down to a more centralized position over the guitar top in comparison to the more common 14 fret design. By moving the bridge south from the edge of the soundhole, it is placed in a more elastic region of the top thus delivering its sonic energy with less restriction. 12 frets have seen a resurgence in popularity over the past few years for this very reason. On this instrument we decided to turbocharge this top to bridge relationship with VTS Sitka Spruce. The Vintage Tone System (VTS) process is Martin’s unique approach to torrefaction. By heating the wood components in a high heat environment with increased atmospheric pressure and decreased oxygen, Martin can “cook out” the water and sugars from the wood. This leaves us with a Spruce top that has similar properties to a vintage, aged, wood top with increased stability and lower moisture content.

We also focused on other string contact point in this design and spec’d a slotted peghead behind the 1 ¾” bone nut. The slotted peghead increases the break angle behind the nut slot, which allows more energy to travel up and down the playable portion of the string and into the top. The headplate around the slots is flamed mahogany, with a classy Old Style Gold Small Decal. Profile is the fan favorite modified low oval with the high performance taper. This small body and fast neck will lend itself to countless hours of playing on plush and hard seating surfaces alike. No couch fatigue here.

The back and sides of this instrument are hand selected Sinker Mahogany set #191. The book match boasts the wide range of colors that Sinker is known for, from golden yellows, sunset oranges, and the darkest, muddiest browns. You can see the effect of 100+ years of waterflow, mud, organism decay, and sediment quite clearly. Sinker is prized for its extremely warm and balanced tone across the frequency spectrum.

The Premium VTS Sitka top is sprayed in a gloss Ambertone 1933 burst finish that blends flawlessly into the rich and earthy Sinker back and sides. The mahogany gets a rosewood filler before its clear gloss finish. The neck is satin for smooth playability.

00 Size instruments like this are popular for their speed of attack. They achieve maximum velocity upon minimal energy input. Unlike a large body jumbo, this guitar is ready to get up and go at the slightest fingerstyle touch.

Good underwear. Husband likes them.
Color: Black, Size: Large
Husband wears XL and XL fit well. This is the second pack I got for him. They are decent quality, look and feel nice, not baggy yet not too tight anywhere. They are somewhat thin (but still supportive) and do not make him sweat more so he loves that. No problems washing (they didn’t shrink). Will continue to repurchase these.

Comfortable
Color: Black,navy,burgundy,brown, Size: Medium
I have had a lifetime of different briefs, some name brand, some generic. I am 165 lbs, wear Medium, and these are closest to feeling commando of anything I’ve ever worn. Comfortable, not too tight waist and legs, and yes silky touch yet not slinky. Maybe not for support wear, but casual and cool comfort, the “Cat’s meow”. I just came on to order some more

Great fabric - pouch too small!
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
First, the fabric used is wonderfully soft and comfortable. It;s the first thing noticed when package was opened. Strange, but the elastic waistband is about 1/2", very similar to a woman's style panty. But it's comfortable and easily acceptable. The main problem is that the pouch that holds your "stuff" in place, is oddly and unnaturally small. Small enough where this average man's "stuff" tends to fall out of the pouch on one side or the other. I sleep in my underwear, and every time I did with these, I awoke with the front pouch off to the side and everything down there was hanging outside of the underwear. They also seem to do well through a wash cycle. However, if the main reason for wearing underwear is to keep your stuff in place, these fail from the beginning. I ordered another brand from overseas, and they had the exact same problems as these! I wonder if that's just how they make them outside of the USA. The Bottom Line? Uncle Steve Disapproved!

Premium cotton underwear at a modest price. Highly recommend!
Color: Multicolora6-4 Pack, Size: X-Large
Bought my husband 2 variety packs of these, and they are still great over 2 years in. High quality cotton briefs are breathable, colors are vibrant, and the fit is spot on. A good value at this price point compared to designer brands, and the product overall exceeds expectations in terms of comfort level, durability and appearance.

Comfort, Support, and Quality – The Perfect Boxer Briefs
Color: White, Size: X-Large
These men’s boxer briefs are everything I look for in everyday underwear. The fit is excellent — snug where it needs to be without feeling restrictive, and the fabric has just the right amount of stretch for all-day comfort. The material is soft, breathable, and holds up great after multiple washes. No fading, no sagging, and most importantly — no riding up. The waistband is strong yet comfortable, staying in place without digging into the skin. What really stands out is how well they balance support and freedom of movement. Whether I’m working out, at the office, or just relaxing at home, these boxer briefs stay comfortable and keep everything in place. Great value for the price and a dependable choice for everyday wear. I’ll definitely be buying more. Highly recommend!
