{"product_id":"c-f-martin-co-cs-sitka-epicea-acajou-flamme-403101","title":"Cs Sitka Spruce\/Flamed Mahogany","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA 000 Custom Shop: The Nazareth Spirit, Between Tradition and Careful Selection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 000 was born from design work directly in the \u003cstrong\u003eMartin Guitar Custom Shop\u003c\/strong\u003e workshops in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The idea is simple: start from an iconic format, then push the choices of woods, luthiery, and ornamentation towards something more exclusive, without betraying Martin's DNA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e000\u003c\/strong\u003e format holds a special place in the range: less imposing than a dreadnought but more substantial than a travel size, it emphasizes balance and finesse. Here, the specifications go further with a \u003cstrong\u003e\"Golden Era\" carved X-bracing\u003c\/strong\u003e and carefully chosen aesthetic details (rosette, pickguard, square headstock), for an instrument with a traditional look and a modern feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich Guitarists and Styles is this 000 Ideal For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its 000 size and natural balance, this guitar is broadly aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert guitarists\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking an expressive, responsive, and nuanced acoustic. It will also suit a demanding beginner looking straight away for an inspiring instrument, provided they appreciate a guitar sensitive to attack and right-hand nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of styles, it excels in \u003cstrong\u003efingerstyle\u003c\/strong\u003e (articulation, note separation), \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eacoustic pop\u003c\/strong\u003e (full but defined chords), and remains very comfortable in \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e and vocal accompaniment. The 000 format is also a relevant choice for recording: it fills the sonic space without excessive bass, which facilitates mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Precise and Warm Sound: Sitka, Flamed Mahogany, and \"Golden Era\" Bracing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSitka Spruce top (grade 4)\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers what is expected from a great acoustic: a clear attack, excellent dynamics, and a good capacity to handle an energetic right hand. Sitka is appreciated for its versatility: it responds quickly to light playing while maintaining integrity when played harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eflamed mahogany back and sides\u003c\/strong\u003e steer the guitar towards a warm signature, with present mids and a very clean chord definition. Mahogany often highlights the instrument's \"voice\": clear fundamentals, a singing midrange, and a sense of intimacy that particularly serves fingerpicking and accompaniment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key feature of this model remains the \u003cstrong\u003e\"Golden Era\" carved X-bracing\u003c\/strong\u003e. This type of luthiery generally favors a freer top, thus a livelier guitar: more projection at equal attack, greater nuance relief, and a naturally settling sustain without artificially boosting the bass. On a 000 format, the result is often spectacular: a solid foundation is maintained while gaining in precision and expressiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of feel, the whole is reinforced by coherent choices: \u003cstrong\u003eebony fingerboard and bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e for definition, \u003cstrong\u003ecompensated bone saddle\u003c\/strong\u003e for precise intonation and efficient vibration transmission, and a glossy finish that highlights both the flamed mahogany and the spruce. The \"faux tortoise shell\" pickguard and \"Bold Herringbone\" rosette complete the visual character with a very \"vintage\" elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo get the best out of this 000, you can consider a \u003cstrong\u003eLight gauge acoustic folk string set\u003c\/strong\u003e (the size and setup accept this standard), as well as an \u003cstrong\u003eacoustic guitar humidifier\u003c\/strong\u003e if the instrument is stored in a dry room. A \u003cstrong\u003echromatic tuner\u003c\/strong\u003e (clip-on or pedal) and a \u003cstrong\u003eguitar stand\u003c\/strong\u003e complete a simple, useful, and compatibility-risk-free set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:14;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e000\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e24.98\u0026quot;
