DISC Martin 00X1AE Electro Acoustic

Full Description

Superb Mixture of Materials

The Martin 00X1AE is crafted from a solid sitka spruce top which delivers a wide, very usable, dynamic tonal palette. The wood itself is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm midi-range, and bright singing highs. The back and sides of the electro acoustic are crafted from high-pressure laminate mahogany-grain. HPL is a composite material made from paper and resin that is pressed at a very high pressure, the surface wears a mahogany pattern and a protective clear coating, it is not a wood veneer. The unique blend of spruce, and HPL mahogany deliver a strong upper mid and high focus, bright, beautiful ringing tones, and plenty of volume.

Auditorium Voicing

The Martin 00X1AE wears a beautifully curved auditorium body, which produces a big, crystal clear tone. The auditorium shape provides a comfortable playing experience due to its smaller waist. The shape has great tonal balance, which provides a great all-rounded tone perfectly suited for recording, writing, and performing purposes. The Martin auditorium body will project well-defined mid, low, and treble notes, perfectly suited to many playing techniques and genres.

Certified Richlite Fingerboard & Rust Birch Laminate Neck

The Martin 00X1AE high performance tapered neck is crafted from rust-coloured birch laminate, which provides a high quality feel and smooth playing experience. The neck is topped with a richlite fingerboard, which is an incredibly durable, extremely versatile, and highly sustainable. Certified richlite is made from resin-infused recycled paper, which provides an environmentally friendly-feel and superbly bright tone. Martin's synthetic touch mimics the look and feel of ebony exceptionally well, without contributing to the ongoing environmental apocalypse.

Standard X Non-Scalloped Bracing

The Martin 00X1AE is reinforced by its non-scalloped X bracing pattern. Non-scalloped bracing allows the top to vibrate yet still keeps it stable. Bracing is very important when it comes to your guitar's durability, it reinforces a guitar's top and back, stops your guitar from collapsing under string tension, and shapes the guitar's sound.

Equipped With Fishman Sonitone Preamp

The Martin 00X1AE is stage-ready due to its Fishman Sonitone system. Once plugged in you have the option to change tone and volume with rotary controls. The sophisticated system features a sound-hole mounted preamp, and comes standard providing a quick, solder-free installation.

Martin's Classic Acoustic Look

The Martin 00X1AE is a beautifully finished, classically styled guitar which features some subtle, classic-acoustic ornate details. The Martin electro acoustic is finished in natural with a hand rubbing technique, with contrasting tortoise shell patterned pick-guard to provide a touch of Martin's creativity. The laminate mahogany-grain back and sides provide a stunning aesthetic, blended with its chrome hardware for the most iconic acoustic look known to date. The neck has unique side dot fingerboard markers inlaid in white plastic. If you crave a natural, classically styled electro acoustic mixed with the art of Martin craftsmanship and quality tone, then the Martin 00X1AE is perfect for you.
