Solid acoustic guitar in Natural finish
The 000-EC 30th Anniversary features an all-solid 000-14 Fret body design, known for its balanced tone and comfortable size. The top is crafted from hand-selected solid spruce, offering brilliant clarity and outstanding resonance. Paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the guitar delivers a warm low end, rich mids, and sparkling highs – perfectly balanced for both fingerstyle and dynamic strumming. The top bracing uses Martin’s meticulously scalloped X-brace design, enhancing projection while preserving tonal nuance. Finished in a high-gloss natural lacquer, the guitar beautifully highlights the grain of the premium tonewoods. A faux tortoise pickguard completes the look, reinforcing the instrument’s timeless, vintage appeal.
Mahogany neck with 1939 profile
Designed with the discerning player in mind, the mahogany neck features Martin’s Authentic 1939 Profile, offering a comfortable, slightly rounded shape for fatigue-free playing. The shortened 632 mm (24.9") scale length allows for easier string bends and smooth articulation – especially well suited for intricate chord voicings and expressive lead lines. The ebony fingerboard, adorned with elegant snowflake inlays, offers a fast, smooth playing surface with superb response. A 42.9 mm bone nut provides optimal string spacing for both flatpicking and fingerstyle players, while the ebony bridge with a compensated bone saddle ensures precise intonation across all frets. Vintage-style nickel open-gear tuners complete the setup, delivering classic looks and reliable tuning stability.
