Plus, its Performing Artist neck profile supplies players with an inspiring blend of speed and comfort to accommodate virtually any playstyle, from the studio to the stage.

Fishman-fueled plugged-in power

The onboard Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics in the 000C-10E not only produce outstanding amplified acoustic tone, but also supply players with an unmatched mix of ergonomic and convenience. Its soundhole-mounted setup keeps the pickup away from unintended contact while remaining easily accessible for onboard sound shaping via Volume, Tone, and Voicing controls.

True Martin craftsmanship

The 000C-10E is part of Martin’s Road Series, built for pain-free portability and unwavering sonic performances. With the top, back, and sides braced for maximum resonance and projection, the 000C-10E’s all-sapele body elicits sonorous Mahogany-like sustain with blossoming harmonics, ample projection, and plenty of headroom. Select hardwood was used for both the high-performance taper neck and 20-fret fingerboard, complemented by a white TUSQ bridge and ebony bridge pins to ensure superlative articulation and note separation.
