Key Features
Torrefied Spruce Top
The torrefied solid spruce top undergoes a thermal aging process that opens up the sound immediately, delivering the tonal maturity of a guitar that's been played for decades. This results in enhanced resonance, deeper bass response, and a naturally broken-in character right out of the case.
Solid Granadillo Body
Solid granadillo back and sides provide rich, warm sustain with sparkling high-end definition and balanced tonal response. This premium tonewood offers exceptional projection and harmonic complexity, making every note ring with clarity and depth.
Vintage-Inspired Design
Classic Style 28 appointments, aging toner finish, and vintage aesthetic details pay homage to Martin's legendary 28-style models from the past. The gloss finish and retro styling create a guitar that looks as incredible as it sounds.
LR Baggs Element Electronics
The integrated LR Baggs Element pickup system captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice with exceptional accuracy. Perfect for live performance and studio recording, this reliable electronics package ensures your tone translates beautifully when amplified.
Scalloped X-Bracing
Traditional scalloped X-bracing enhances the guitar's responsiveness and volume while allowing the top to vibrate more freely. This time-tested Martin design delivers punch, resonance, and the dynamic range that players expect from a premium acoustic instrument.
