Features We Love:

000-12 Auditorium

This original Martin body shape sits between dreadnought and parlour guitars in size, giving it the perfect blend of volume, tone and comfort. It's smaller body size sits well on the knee making it the perfect choice for finger playing and classical styles.

Martin (A-Frame) X-Brace System

Martin's X-Brace system dates back almost 200 years, designed to present the perfect balance between reliability and optimised tonal quality, in a guitar that will last a lifetime. The modern A-Frame design takes the traditional X-Brace layout and adds extra strength where the neck joins, which in turn eliminates the need for reinforcement behind the bridge. The result is a reliable guitar that is loud and offers spectacular tone and resonance.

Fishman Matrix VT Pickup

Fishman have a reputation as one of the best pickup manufacturers in the world and their acoustic guitar pickups are especially loved. The Matrix VT series pickup offers exceptional transparency to present the true sound of your guitar to a speaker system. The system also features a volume and tone control discreetly tucked into the soundhole, so there are no ugly control panels screwed onto the body. It looks like a traditional acoustic with the control and convenience of an electro-acoustic, truly the best of both worlds.

Highlights:

• Exceptional build quality
• Beautiful tones
• Fishman Matrix VT pickup makes amplification easy
