Martin 000-42 Acoustic Guitar w/ Hardshell Case - Natural

The ornate design and flash of the 42 Series adds panache to the classic tone of East Indian rosewood back and sides, a 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 and bliss.

Rosewood and spruce deliver timeless acoustic tone

The tone of solid spruce and genuine rosewood has become something of a legend in the world of acoustic instruments. The Martin 000-42 proudly features this classic pairing that results in its exquisite sound. Crisp, clear highs blend wonderfully with the warm low end, producing stellar sustain and robust projection. And the beautiful ebony fingerboard feels immediately playable and delivers a great dynamic feel.

Enjoy the comfortable and tonally balanced body

The forward, balanced tone of this Martin 000-42 acoustic guitar comes from its 000 14-fret body style. It provides excellent projection and focus, perfect for competing with a banjo or other acoustic instruments in a performance. The body style also gives you well-balanced tone, making this 000-42 perfect for recording in the studio.

Modified low oval neck combines vintage style with smooth feel

For players with smaller hands or those who simply prefer a slimmer neck, the 000-42 features a modified low oval neck, great for fingerpicking or flatpicking in various styles — bluegrass, country, blues, even folk. The low oval neck, paired with the ebony fingerboard, adds even more playability and smooth response to this beautifully crafted acoustic.
