Fantastic Tonewoods

As noted, the 000X1SAE body is crafted using solid sapele for the top, a tonewood that offers an energetic delivery, which makes it well equipped to handle its duty as soundboard. Not only does it produce an enviable dynamic response, but the natural grain doesn't look too bad either.

In keeping with their environmentally-friendly attitude, Martin have employed high-pressure laminate (HPL) for the back and sides, which is finished in black to add contrast to the sapele. The HPL contributes depth and warmth alongside the brighter articulation of the sapele. Combined with the diminutive body proportions, and the 000X1SAE produces a delicately balanced output that sings with the utmost clarity.

The body top beneath the soundhole and along the lower bout is protected from pickscrapes that can occur during performances by a delmar pickguard. Protection has been given to the woods in the form of polished gloss to the top, back and sides.

Birch Laminate Neck

The birch laminate neck is shaped to the low oval profile, which guarantees a reassuring feel in the hand without feeling cumbersome or bulky - perfectly matching the lightweight and carefree feel of the body. Married to the neck is a black richlite fingerboard, which is home to a total of 20 frets, with 14 frets clear of the body. In keeping with the stripped-back aesthetic, Martin has positioned side dot position inlays along the fingerboard. The tuning machines with uphold tuning integrity with the utmost precision. The nut maintains string tension keenly, whilst the black richlite bridge provides a seamless connection between the strings and body for optimum intonation and sustain.
