Martin Guitars Custom Shop 000-42
Sonic Evaluation
Triple-ought 42s are the epitome of style and grace, and this serial with Guatemalan rosewood back and sides and a Carpathian spruce top has tone to match its elegant appearance. It has a rich voice with a rich, punchy low-end to go with gorgeous sparkling trebles and a transparent midrange, making for a perfectly balanced overall tone. It has tons of overtones, but it also has a lovely woody fundamental to gives it extra punch and clarity. It's quite responsive to the player's touch, but it also has plenty of headroom. So it works beautifully for flatpicking and fingerstyle! If you're looking for a balanced, robust-sounding 000 that can do it all, this acoustic ATV will take you on one heck of an acoustic adventure!
