The solid Sitka spurce top and compact shape of the 000X1AE gives this Martin a pristine tonal clarity.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Fishman Sonitone electronics Natural sounding and loud; great live projection
Mortise/tenon neck joint Enhanced stability, sustain and strength
A-frame "X-1" bracing Added stability and better projection
Sitka spruce top Projects rich, crisp and responsive tone

The Martin 000X1AE Acoustic Electric Guitar features patented high pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top. By combining these two features, the Martin 000X1AE belts out rich clarity and plenty of projection. The Mortise/Tennon neck joint ensures optimal tone resonating from the instrument, while eliminating drop-off in the finer dynamics.

The Martin 000X1AE includes professionally installed Sonicore pick-up technology with the Fishman Sonitone system, featuring easy access volume and tone controls conveniently and strategically located just inside the sound hole. With a smaller body design than the traditional dreadnought, the 000X1AE still manages to produce a full, robust sound.

I ordered my martin 000x1ae on zz sounds 4 pay which was a great option for me. It came 4 business days later and zz provided me with tracking info so I knew where it was from day one. With the guitar being a small size 000 I knew it would be a little brighter than a full size acoustic so I wasn't surprised by that. When plugged in to an amp you can balance the tone to a much larger degree. I usually practice with it unplugged but when I want to show it off I like to plug it in. I'm very happy with the guitar and the service from zz sound for getting it to me
