Overview
Scalloped X bracing under a spruce pattern HPL top gives this dreadnought its powerful bass response without overpowering the mids and treble. The figured mahogany pattern HPL body, herringbone ink rosette and Martin electronics round out the X Series build.
Laminate construction that resists dings, dents and scratches makes this a guitar for camping and the beach. Bright resonance and strong volume come from the dreadnought shape. The limitation is the mixed description of the top, which reads as spruce in the specs and laminate in the copy.
Who it's for
Travelers and outdoor players who need a durable guitar with full-size volume. Those who want an all-wood top, or who need exact body measurements, should check the details with the seller.
Pros and cons
- Laminate resists dings, dents and scratches
- Powerful bass from scalloped X bracing
- Padded bag with headstock and bridge protectors
- Martin electronics built in
- Listing calls top both spruce and HPL
Performance notes
A long scale adds string tension, which raises power, and scalloped X bracing balances that bass against the mids and treble. The laminate skin takes knocks better than thin wood. Electronics send the amplified sound out through the quarter inch jack.
