The front of the guitar is made of solid Sitka spruce, the back and sides of solid East Indian rosewood. The good acoustic properties of the guitar are accentuated by the lowered X-ribs (Scalloped X-Brace) of the soundboard.
The Select Hardwood neck, which is attached to the body at the fourteenth fret as standard, is joined by a 20-fret ebony fingerboard. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by mother-of-pearl position markers. Precise tuning and good sustain are guaranteed by the string attachment through the compensated saddle made of TusQ material and the zero fret made of bone in the chrome-plated mechanics and ebony cob. The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by the Antique White perimeter binding, herringbone rosette and imitation tortoiseshell pickguard, which also protects the lacquer from scratches.
The Fishman Matrix VT Enhance NT2 electronics with controls in the instrument's soundhole guarantee a faithful reproduction of the acoustic sound. The guitar comes in a case (Ply Hardshell/Soft Shell), making it instantly ready to be loaded into your car/van for long or short trips to pursue your musical dreams.
The American Martin company, founded in 1833, is quite deservedly one of the biggest and most respected names in stringed instruments. For decades, it has been one of the leading innovators in guitar design and manufacturing technology. However, to use only the past tense would be a great mistake; instruments with the Martin logo are still today among the guarantees of the highest quality in craftsmanship and sound. In addition, their current products use "eco-friendly" components made from renewable resources and composite materials.
