CEO 6 Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Martin CEO 6 Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar is based on the early "Sloped Shoulder" Dreadnought design originated by Martin in the 1930s. The 14-fret CEO-6 features a solid wood Red Spruce "Adirondack" top (just like original design) joined to a body of premium, bookmatched solid East Indian rosewood.

The slope shoulder body size, or "S" (for "special" as the more elongated body was later referred to), is considered to be one of the best sounding Martins. The CEO 6 also includes Modified Hybrid A-frame top bracing renowned for its exceptional tonal capabilities, with a big, yet highly articulate voice.

Above all, the CEO-6 is a player's guitar with Martin's unique Performing Artist neck profile for faster and easier playing in all positions. It also has wider, more comfortable string spacing on the 1930 style belly bridge. Bone nut and bridge pins, and a Tusq compensated long saddle add resonance and sustain. Played fully acoustic or plugged into its Fishman F1 Aura on-board electronics, the CEO-6 delivers all the classic Martin tone, subtlety “ and volume “ you want.

This is an especially beautiful guitar, available in a highly polished lacquer natural finish as standard or in a spectacular "tear drop" sunburst finish at no extra charge. The top is elegantly bound in vintage grained ivoroid and has a faux tortoise beveled and polished pickguard. Fingerboard and bridge are select black ebony. Gold Grover tuners with large buttons complete the perfect aesthetic mix.
