Earlier this year, we learned that Joe Bonamassa’s first-ever Martin signature model – a high-end replica of his museum-grade pre-war 000 acoustic guitar – was in the works. Now, six months later, the five-figure Martin 000-45 Joe Bonamassa model is finally here.
From the early glimpses that fans got via Bonamassa’s social media channels, it was clear that this latest signature guitar was going to be top-of-the-line. The source material that inspired the collaboration, for starters, was a mint condition Triple 0 model from January 1941.
