Overview
Recording studios and song circles welcome the darker voice of this Martin, a dreadnought built from bookmatched mahogany top to back. A-frame X bracing under the mahogany top gives deep overtones and strong projection in a vintage Style look.
Warm, rich mids that support a voice without crowding it make this a favorite second guitar beside a spruce-top model. The all-mahogany build gives a vintage look and feel. No case, gig bag or pickup is listed.
Who it's for
Singer-songwriters with higher voices and players adding a contrasting guitar to a duo get a complex, warm sound. Players who want sparkle and shimmer should choose a spruce top.
Pros and cons
- Warm, full mahogany voice

Performance notes
Tone comes from the mahogany top, which is denser and darker than spruce, emphasizing midrange and deep overtones. A-frame X bracing tunes how the top moves for projection. The large dreadnought body adds bass weight to that warm voice.
