Key Features and Specifications

• Body Style: Grand Performance 14-Fret Cutaway, which offers a versatile blend of the projection and volume of a Dreadnought but with a more comfortable, balanced feel and excellent note definition for both strumming and fingerstyle.

• Construction: This model is part of Martin's Road Series, built with a solid wood top and fine veneer back and sides.

• Tonewoods:

  • Top: Solid Sitka Spruce, which is known for its clarity, dynamic response, and rich tonal character.

  • Back and Sides: Ziricote Fine Veneer (or sometimes Mutenye, depending on the model variation and production run). The ziricote offers a striking, dramatic grain pattern and is often tonally compared to rosewood, providing rich, deep bass and clear highs.

• Neck: Select Hardwood neck with a Performing Artist profile and a High-Performance Taper, designed for fast, comfortable playability. The scale length is 25.4" with a 1 3/4" nut width.

• Fingerboard and Bridge: Both are made from FSC Certified Richlite, a durable and stable material that looks and feels similar to ebony.

• Electronics: Equipped with Fishman MX-T electronics, which includes volume and tone controls discreetly mounted inside the soundhole. A notable feature is the built-in soundhole tuner that automatically mutes the output when engaged, allowing for silent, on-stage tuning.

• Aesthetics: Features include stunning mother-of-pearl pattern fingerboard and rosette inlays, a multi-stripe rosette border, and white binding.

• Case: Comes with a Martin Premium Soft Shell Case for road-readiness.
