The Used 2026 Mario Martin S-Style in Tobacco Burst Flake is a Nashville-built boutique S-style that weighs a remarkable 6.0 lbs., and that number is the headline. Mario Martin builds this one from paulownia — an unusually light, resonant tonewood that gives up almost nothing in tone while taking pounds off your shoulder — finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer with a light relic and a metal-flake tobacco burst that shifts and sparkles as it catches the light. It's a striking finish, part vintage burst and part hot-rod flake, with a matching relic'd headstock and a black Bakelite pickguard grounding the whole look. This 2026 example is in mint condition with little to no wear beyond the factory relic, and it comes with its original Mario Martin gigbag and Certificate of Authenticity.
The neck is a single piece of quartersawn AAA flame maple in a Classic C carve (.845" at the 1st fret, .900" at the 12th fret) under gloss nitro, bolted on for that snappy, articulate attack a great S-style lives on. The one-piece quartersawn AAA flame maple fretboard carries black dot inlays over a 9.5"–12" compound radius — comfortable chording down at the nut, flatter and more bend-friendly up high — with 21 6105 medium jumbo frets, a 25.5" scale, and a 1.650" bone nut. A Wilkinson 6-screw tremolo with bent saddles handles the vibrato duties with vintage-correct feel and better tuning return than the originals ever managed, paired with vintage-style tuners in nickel/chrome hardware.
Electronics are a matched set of three Arcane '61 Experience single-coils, wound to capture the glassy top end, scooped mids, and bell-like clarity of an early-'60s S-style, run through a volume, two tones, and a 5-way selector — plus a mini-toggle for boost that pushes the front end when a solo needs to jump out of the mix without touching your amp. Whether you're a session player who wants a light, fast, vintage-voiced instrument that sits perfectly in a track, a gigging guitarist tired of shoulder fatigue by the third set, or a collector after a boutique build from one of Nashville's most respected small shops, this one earns a spot in the rotation. This Mario Martin S-Style Tobacco Burst Flake (Serial #1261109) includes a deluxe gigbag and Certificate of Authenticity. Order today from Brian's Guitars.
