Overview
Martin builds this Little Martin with a figured koa pattern high pressure laminate top, back and sides over spruce X-bracing, in a compact modified concert body. A short scale neck and backpack gig bag make it easy to carry anywhere.
Worry-free durability is the case, so it can live in a car, a classroom or a campsite without fuss. The short scale and slim neck suit smaller hands. Tone is clear and crisp but lighter in bass than a full size wood guitar.
Who it's for
Beginners, kids, travelers and anyone who wants a grab and go guitar. Players chasing rich, deep tone should look at a larger wood guitar.
Pros and cons
- Very durable laminate
- Handles humidity changes
- Short scale is easy to play
- Backpack gig bag included
- Less bass than larger bodies
- Laminate tone is simpler
- No pickup listed
Performance notes
High pressure laminate resists cracking and humidity swings, which is why it suits travel. The short scale lowers tension so chords are easier to press. X-bracing helps the small top project, though bass is lighter than on bigger bodies.
