CME Joins the Martin Custom Shop Experience Program
The Chicago Music Exchange ranks among the acoustic brand’s elites as a designated Martin Custom Shop Expert Dealer.
As a Martin Custom Shop Expert Dealer, we have exclusive access to special runs, limited models, and the whole palette of Martin Custom Shop’s base models, specs, aging options, tonewoods, and more!


You’ll start to see plenty of unique Martin Custom Shop models on our site that you can purchase straight away, but if you have an idea for your own, don’t hesitate to let us know! We’ll hear you out, help with any questions you have, and submit your dream design to the Martin Custom Shop. They’ll work up a quote, and if you’re satisfied, they’ll craft it and ship it back to us for you to pick up.
Hand-Made Processes
Typical turnaround is from a few months to a year, and one can expect a Martin Custom Shop model to run anywhere from $2,000 to $50,000, but hey, it’s custom! It’s up to you!
