This solid wood Auditorium model is an affordable workhorse with tone for days. The acoustic-electric 000C-10E features a sapele body paired with a select hardwood neck, fingerboard, and bridge. Its popular 000 body size delivers both comfort and volume with a balanced tone across all six strings, perfect for strumming chords and fingerpicking. It’s a smaller, full-sized Martin that still packs a punch. Sapele is a wood that’s similar in appearance and tone to the genuine mahogany found on our higher-end models, providing a powerful midrange, great punch, and bright and airy trebles. This guitar gives you all the playability and tone of a solid wood Martin in an understated, no-frills package that’s ready to play right out of the box. Not only does the 000C-10E sound great unplugged, but the Fishman® Matrix VT Enhance electronics give you the option to plug in at home, on stage, and in the studio with onboard volume, tone, and blend controls.
