New: Westside Custom Sapele Editions

EditorGeneral News, Martin Guitar

Introducing two new models to the Westside Custom Series, the 000X1SAE and the DX1SAE: designed exclusively for the UK by Westside Distribution.

Inspired by the resurgence of classic ‘workhorse’ guitars like the 00015M and D15M, the 000X1SAE and DX1SAE are the first in a range of guitars utilising the understated beauty and  warmth of tone associated with Sapele, combined with modern X Series design and build.
