Tailor-made for couch sessions, impromptu jam nights, and road trip sing-alongs, the Martin 000 Junior Sapele Special is ready to go wherever your music takes you. It features a supremely balanced, all-solid-wood, 000-style body crafted from high-quality sapele, giving it a midrange-dense, overtone-laden tone akin to African mahogany. Moreover, spruce X-bracing enhances the guitar’s tone, resonance, and projection. You also get a comfortable select hardwood neck and a smooth Richlite fingerboard, enhanced by a slinky 24-inch scale length, ensuring supple playability that you’ll be eager to revisit again and again. Want to take the 000 Junior Sapele Special onstage? No problem — its Fishman Presys VT acoustic pickup system certifies that every note will ring out loud and clear. Additionally, the 000 Junior Sapele Special flaunts plenty of eye-catching appointments, including mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays, a single-ring fiber rosette, a faux tortoiseshell pickguard, and an attractive hand-rubbed finish. Beyond that, chrome enclosed-gear tuning machines and a TUSQ bridge saddle give this acoustic-electric guitar outstanding stability and reliability. Whether you're strumming at home or performing under stage lights, the Martin 000 Junior Sapele Special delivers rich tone and effortless playability that are sure to inspire.
Boasting all-solid-wood construction, the 000 Junior Sapele Special has the markings of a premium-quality Martin. Its sapele top, back, and sides give it a tonality similar to African mahogany; it resounds with overtones that stack up and bloom into thick, harmonic-laden textures guaranteed to elevate every playing session. Moreover, this acoustic-electric guitar features spruce X-bracing, bolstering its structural stability while allowing the top to vibrate freely. The result is a dynamic sound with balanced clarity, ear-grabbing sustain, and ample projection.
Smaller than a dreadnought but by no means a “parlor guitar,” Martin’s 000 body shape is a true 6-string Swiss Army knife, tackling everything from singer/songwriter strumming duties to melodic fingerstyle without batting an eye. Martin fans champion this shape for its exceptional string-to-string balance and comfortable playability — a byproduct of the 000’s reduced scale length. All in all, the 000 body shape is an ideal choice for guitarists who clamor for full-bodied Martin tone in a more comfortable, balanced-sounding package.
While we’re certainly impressed with the Martin 000 Junior Sapele Special’s acoustic tone here at Sweetwater, we’re just as amazed at how great it sounds plugged in, thanks to its Fishman Presys VT electronics. Built around an under-saddle piezo pickup, the Presys VT system delivers an incredibly natural sound bolstered by a state-of-the-art onboard preamp. Moreover, you’ll value the convenience of its soundhole-mounted Volume and Tone controls, providing you with potent tone shaping for optimal sound in every setting and venue.
