Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Performance

The CF Martin 000-12E is a stunning 12-fret acoustic-electric guitar that combines vintage-inspired design with contemporary playability. This auditorium-style instrument delivers the warm, intimate tone that has made Martin's 000 body shape a favourite among fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters for generations.

Exquisite Tonewood Pairing

Featuring a solid Spruce top paired with beautiful Koa fine veneer back and sides, the 000-12E produces a rich, balanced tone with exceptional clarity and warmth. The Spruce top provides crisp articulation and dynamic response, while the Koa adds a sweet, complex midrange character that enhances both strummed chords and intricate fingerpicking patterns.

12-Fret Design for Enhanced Playability

The 12-fret neck-to-body junction is a nod to Martin's vintage designs, offering several distinct advantages:

  • Warmer, more balanced tone with enhanced bass response
  • Easier access to upper frets for comfortable playing
  • Slightly shorter scale length for reduced string tension and effortless fretting
  • Perfect for fingerstyle players and those who prefer a more relaxed playing feel

Premium Features

  • Mahogany Neck: Traditional tonewood choice providing stability and warmth
  • Richlite Fingerboard: Sustainable, eco-friendly material that offers smooth playability and consistent performance in all climates
  • Martin E1 Electronics: High-quality pickup system for authentic amplified tone, perfect for live performances and recording
  • Natural Gloss Finish: Beautiful, lustrous finish that showcases the stunning grain of the Koa and protects your investment

The Perfect 000 Body

The auditorium-sized 000 body shape is renowned for its versatility and comfort. It's large enough to produce full, rich tone with excellent projection, yet compact enough for intimate playing sessions. The balanced frequency response makes it ideal for recording, performing, and everything in between.

Martin Heritage, Sustainable Future

As part of Martin's commitment to environmental stewardship, the 000-12E incorporates sustainable materials like Richlite and responsibly sourced tonewoods, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the same legendary Martin quality.

Whether you're a fingerstyle enthusiast, singer-songwriter, or collector of fine instruments, the CF Martin 000-12E offers vintage charm, modern reliability, and the unmistakable Martin sound.
