The front of the guitar is made from solid Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are made from cherry wood. The good acoustic properties of the guitar are accentuated by the lowered X-ribs (Scalloped X-Brace) of the soundboard.
An ebony fingerboard with 20 frets is glued to the mahogany neck, which is attached to the body at the fourteenth fret as standard. Orientation around its surface is facilitated by mother-of-pearl position markers and black dots on the sides. Precise tuning and good sustain are guaranteed by the string attachment via a TusQ compensated saddle and a bone zero fret in open mechanics in gold finish and an ebony fingerboard. The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by the imitation tortoiseshell rosette with ring, bright binding (Antique White), African blackwood headstock veneer and imitation tortoiseshell pickguard, which also protects the lacquer from scratches.
The Fishman Matrix VT Enhance NT1 electronics with controls in the instrument's soundhole guarantee a faithful reproduction of the acoustic sound.
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.
