A Martinez Crossover: Classical Spirit, Modern Ergonomics
The MP14-OV ON fits into Martinez's "crossover" approach: a full-size nylon guitar designed for guitarists who love the warmth and feel of nylon strings but seek a more immediate sensation under the fingers. Its comfortable size, cutaway, and natural glossy finish make it a versatile instrument, equally at ease in acoustic playing as in amplified settings thanks to the Martinez SFT system.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This Martinez is especially aimed at intermediate guitarists (and motivated beginners) who want to transition from a folk or electric guitar to nylon strings without encountering a neck that is too wide. It suits acoustic pop, variety, bossa, latin, fingerstyle styles, and vocal accompaniment very well. The cutaway is a real advantage for melodic phrasing and playing in the higher positions.
Sound
With nylon strings, the MP14-OV ON emphasizes a soft attack and ideal playing comfort for dynamics. The solid ovangkol back and sides contribute to an articulated sound, with clean lows and present mids, helping the instrument remain clear in accompaniment as well as in arpeggios. The 650 mm scale length maintains classic tension and dynamic references, while the crossover design promotes a fast and natural playing feel, particularly appreciated for chord transitions and pick playing.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To complement the included gig bag, you might consider a set of nylon strings suitable for a 4/4 scale (650 mm), a chromatic tuner (clip-on or pedal), as well as a guitar stand for storage at home or in the studio. A microfiber cloth is also useful to preserve the glossy finish after each session.
