About Martin 000

The construction / acoustic of the Martin 000 models represents an optimal compromise between volume , sound density and playing comfort . Eric Clapton values ​​his Martin 000 above all else and uses the guitar both in the studio and on stage for fingerstyle accompaniments and soulful solos. And so it is not surprising that the 000 has served as a model for many modern auditorium-style instruments.

The 000 is available in many different tonewood combinations, the best known models are certainly the 000-18 and the 000-28. Because of its shorter scale length , the 000 is perfect for guitarists with smaller hands. Smaller body, super handling and an absolutely precise tone - the perfect instrument for fingerpicking .

This primarily includes the development of the dreadnought form and thus the western guitar as we know it today. The family business, with its history spanning over 175 years, has shaped the music world to this day. The innovations that Martin made standard in guitar construction include guitars with 14 frets outside the body and X-bracing. This allows the top to be more stable and max. weight capacity thanks to glued strips on the inside of the carcass ceiling.
