Lightning Joe’s Guitar Heaven is your leading Martin Custom Shop Expert Dealer

Lightning Joe’s is honored to be a part of Martin Guitar’s Custom Shop Experience program. As a Martin Custom Shop Expert dealer, we pledge to offer you leading representation of this historic and iconic brand. Our extensive knowledge of Martin guitars allows us to find the perfect guitar for you, even if you’ve never seen it or even dreamed of what it might look like. We can help you design the guitar down to the smallest details, both visually and sonically. Your happiness is ours, so we always strive to help you on your way to the perfect custom guitar.

From pre-built to designed personally by the staff here at Lightning Joe’s, we strive to stock and showcase beautifully unique Martin guitars. With almost two dozen Martin Custom Shop guitars in stock, there is something for a lot of customers. But for those who are looking for a little bit more - or even a little bit less - dreaming up your perfect Martin guitar and putting it in motion is why we’re here. We offer our customers a personal building experience that only the top Martin dealers can provide.

Once you have your dream custom build conceptualized, we will nail down the fine details and then submit the specifications to Martin. A quote will typically be available within a few days to a few weeks, depending on the build. The quote is free with no obligation to purchase. Once we receive the quote, we will reach out to discuss it and make any adjustments, if needed. A full spec sheet will be available with the estimated completion date and the final decision will be yours!

Your Custom Shop build session is a private and exclusive appointment, held on the top floor of our shop in our vintage guitar museum. The consultation will run about 15 minutes, and that time will be spent discussing your custom guitar concept and answering any questions you have about the process. The build session will run about 30 minutes, and that time will be spent selecting the specifications for your Custom Shop Martin. We will have literature and samples available for you to look at to help with the building process. You will generally need just one building session here at the shop; we will then follow up via phone or email for further communication until the order is placed.
