Martin 00042: Standard Series Auditorium Acoustic Guitar

The 000-42 combines rich resonant tone and balance with a stand out elegance. The ornate design and flash of the 40 Series adds panache to the classic tone of East Indian rosewood back and sides, a Sitka spruce scalloped X-braced top, and hand-fit dovetail neck joint. Open geared tuners, antique white binding, polished gloss finish and abalone pearl top inlay offers exquisite style with complex tone. Short scale and a sleek modified low-oval neck with narrow taper mean strumming and picking for hours in comfort.
