Overview
Not a pristine showroom guitar, the Martin StreetMaster is built to look and sound played-in, with a distressed satin finish and aged hardware. Its top is aged through a proprietary process that mimics decades-old instruments.
Seasoned tone from day one is the reason to look: dynamic clarity and depth from the aged spruce, plus rich overtones from rosewood. The limit is that there is no pickup, so it is an unplugged guitar only.
Who it's for
A player who likes a relaxed feel and worn-in aesthetics for songwriting or recording will take to the short scale. Gigging players needing a pickup, or buyers who want a glossy new look, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Aged top for a seasoned voice
- East Indian rosewood back and sides
- Short scale, relaxed feel
- Scalloped X-bracing for response
- No pickup or electronics
- Distressed finish is a style choice
- Warranty details via the seller
Performance notes
Wood aging replicates the response of older instruments, so the top is open and dynamic from the start. Scalloped bracing frees the top, and rosewood adds overtones and balance. A short scale and the auditorium body size lower string tension for a relaxed feel.
