Adirondack Spruce top and Vintage Tone System — A Timeless Acoustic Voice

This 000-45 features a premium Adirondack spruce top treated with Martin's Vintage Tone System (VTS), a process that replicates the warm, aged tone of a vintage instrument.

This comfortable neck profile, combined with an adjustable truss rod for modern playability, ensures a smooth and effortless playing experience. The period-correct gold enclosed gear tuners, exclusive to Martin, add a touch of vintage authenticity, while the snowflake inlays on the ebony fretboard further enhance the guitar's classic aesthetic.
