Martin custom shop expert dealer
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!

Friedman | Jake E. Lee Signature Amplifier
Get ready to bark at the moon all over again! Dave Friedman and Jake E. Lee have reunited to bring YOU a fire breather of an amp in a compact package: The Friedman Jake E. Lee Signature 20-Watt All-Tube Head, and a matching 1x12” Extension Cab! After the massive success of the Jake E. Lee-100 Signature head, this new pairing features a smaller setup with no loss of tonal ferocity, and includes the modern features that players demand of their amplifiers. “This amp puts the two specific tones I use to create my sound in one head” says Lee of this amp: “the sweetness and warmth of a classic Plexi and the more aggressive slant of the master volume amps of the ‘80s, all tweaked to my taste”.
