Martin M-36 Acoustic Guitar

Unmatched Brilliance – The Martin M-36 Acoustic Guitar

A three-piece back, bound neck, and body that’s wide like a jumbo and thin like a 000, for a sound as distinctive as those who play it. East Indian rosewood and spruce work with scalloped bracing to produce a tone that’s big, balanced and ideal for studio recordings. Enclosed gear tuners and a modified low oval neck with narrow taper offer superb playability.
