Big Martin Voice In A Compact 000 You Can Take Anywhere
The Martin 000 Junior E Sapele is that rare smaller body acoustic that still feels and sounds like a real Martin, not a toy. All solid sapele, a comfy 000 Junior body, and a full 24.9 inch scale add up to a warm, balanced tone machine you can take from the couch to the stage to the backseat of the SUV without thinking twice.
All Solid Sapele For Warm, Even Tone
Sapele is in the mahogany family, so you get that familiar woody midrange, smooth top end, and an even response that loves both strumming and fingerstyle. With solid sapele top, back, and sides plus scalloped spruce X bracing, this little 000 kicks out more projection and punch than its size suggests.
The satin finish keeps everything feeling fast and broken in, while the medium cherry stain gives it a classic, understated vibe. No plastic binding to get in the way, just a clean, resonant box that lets the wood do the talking.
000 Junior Body That Actually Fits Your Life
The 000 Junior 14 fret body hits that sweet spot between comfort and tone. It is small enough to curl up with on the couch or squeeze into an overhead bin, but still deep and wide enough to move some air and sit right in a mix.
At around 4.1 pounds it feels practically weightless on a strap, and the balance is dialed so it hugs up against your body instead of fighting you. Whether you are a smaller player, a grown adult who is tired of wrestling a dreadnought, or just need a serious travel companion, this size just works.
PA Profile Neck With High Performance Taper
The PA Profile neck with High Performance Taper feels familiar from the first chord. It is slim enough for modern playability but not so skinny that your hand cramps on long sets. The 1 3/4 inch nut, 2 1/8 inch width at the 12th fret, and 2 5/32 inch bridge string spacing give your fretting and picking hand plenty of room to breathe.
This neck is hand finished and Plek processed, so the frets are dialed in for clean notes, easy bends, and low, buzz free action. Real talk, a good Plek job is the difference between a guitar you fight and a guitar that disappears under your fingers.
Stage Ready With Martin E1 Electronics
When it is time to plug in, the Martin E1 system keeps things simple and musical. You get volume, tone, and phase controls to tame feedback and shape your sound, plus a built in tuner so you are never hunting for a clip on at the last second.
It takes pedals and DI boxes like a champ, sitting naturally in the mix for worship gigs, songwriter rounds, or coffee shop sets. The acoustic tone you hear in your lap translates cleanly through a PA without getting harsh or thin.
Road Ready With Case And Player Focused Details
Martin includes a softshell case that is tough enough for day to day running around and light enough that you will actually bring it with you. Toss it in the backseat, overhead compartment, or rehearsal room corner and go make some noise.
This one is already Pleked and will get our Player Perfect setup before it leaves the shop, so it shows up ready for your next writing session, road trip, or gig. If you have been hunting for a serious Martin that fits real world budgets and real world schedules, this 000 Junior E Sapele hits that mark.
