Lefthanded Acoustic Guitar
The Martin & Co 00L Oliver L doesn't just carry a work of art on its table: it makes it vibrate with every chord. The result of a striking collaboration with painter Julie Heffernan, this limited edition left-handed acoustic guitar merges the best of worlds: art, lutherie and materials. Its drop-shouldered Grand Concert silhouette conceals a body of flamed koa for tones that range from velvety fullness to woody clarity, topped by an FSC-certified solid Sitka spruce top, a canvas for the painting Self-Portrait as Arms and the Men. The Martin's attention to detail is evident in everything it does: a mahogany neck with a Modified Low Oval profile, ebony fingerboard and bridge, nickel fittings and faux Tortoise purfling. Produced in a limited edition of just 104, it combines artistic expressiveness, acoustic nobility and ecological commitment. A guitar to play... or to contemplate like a living painting.

Presentation
Looking for a guitar that tells a story at first sight? The Martin & Co 00L Oliver L turns your repertoire into a fresco of sound. Thanks to its FSC spruce top covered in Julie Heffernan's intense artwork, each piece takes on a new, almost cinematic dimension. Visual art and music don't meet here by chance: they merge in a compact, sleek Grand Concert format that fits snugly against you.
What awaits you acoustically? A fine response, warm and full of nuance. The medium flamed koa sides and back offer a unique compromise between chiselled brilliance and silky midrange. The sculpted 6.35 mm X-bridge guarantees controlled projection, whether you're strumming gently or attacking more forcefully. And the bone saddle? It's not there for show: it adds bite to the attack, without detracting from the overall smoothness.
It's a real pleasure to play. The contoured Modified Low Oval mahogany neck with High-Performance Taper glides under your fingers as if anticipating your playing. Ebony fingerboard, 406 mm radius, 632 mm pitch: whether you're strumming light folk or working out your wildest arpeggios, this Martin will go with you without a moment's hesitation. And the butterbean open action? They're vintage and hold the chord like a boss.

To find out more...
Martin & Co has been building guitars since Nazareth, Pennsylvania, longer than your great-great-uncle has been playing the harmonica. With the 00L Oliver L, the brand continues its tradition of excellence in limited series mode.
Behind this unique project is artist Julie Heffernan and her dreamlike approach to the modern world.
To take it a step further, think about accompanying it with a humidifier, a stand (made of wood, it's classier), and bronze phosphor cords: care and sound, hand in hand.
