Premium Tonewoods for Resonant Tone

You’ll appreciate the tonal nuances of this guitar’s hand-selected tonewoods. The tight-grained Adirondack spruce top generates a crystalline treble and bell-like clarity. The cocobolo back and sides impart a refined bass and midrange, with overtones reminiscent of rosewood. Scalloped Adirondack spruce braces and an X-bracing pattern optimize resonance and projection. From mellow fingerstyle to energetic strumming, this combination of tonewoods covers the tonal spectrum.

Traditional Details Define Playability

Inspired by pre-war Martins, this guitar embodies their craftsmanship. The modified V neck with a satin finish provides a comfortable grip for intricate playing. The ebony fingerboard and bridge offer a smooth playing surface, while bone nut and saddle materials transfer string vibration efficiently. You’ll appreciate the slinky feel of the 24.9″ scale length and 1.875″ nut width, ideal for fingerstyle. Grover V97 tuners provide accurate and stable tuning. Traditional appointments like the torch headstock logo, zigzag back strip and herringbone top trim complete the vintage-style aesthetic.

Versatile Tone for Any Genre

With its balanced and dynamic tone, this guitar suits any musical style. The cocobolo back and sides provide warmth for jazz and blues, while the Adirondack top delivers shimmer for folk and country. Its articulate voice also works well for classical and flamenco techniques.
