Martin J-40 Standard Series, Sitka Spruce Top, East Indian Rosewood Back & Sides w/Case
Martin’s Standard Series presents an excellent selection of guitars that are authentically Martin – visually and tonally. This entry to the series, the J-40, delivers on classic Martin style and sounds.
The J-40’s rare tight-waisted, jumbo body profile is constructed of East Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce. This classic combination of woods delivers rich and resonant tones, matching the guitar’s arm-filling form. The J-40’s natural Sitka spruce top gives this Martin a timeless look onstage or in a collection.
A forward-shifted X-brace bracing pattern with scalloped Sitka braces project and balance the voice of this J-40. This voice fits seamlessly with Martin’s classic and comfortable playability. Easy to pick up and play, the genuine mahogany neck is shaped with a hand-fit dovetail neck joint for a form-fitting feel in hand. The J-40’s ebony fingerboard is quick and smooth on the fingers.
Aesthetically, the J-40 shines with a polished gloss finish, abalone fret inlays, and antique white binding. With all elements of an exceptional Martin acoustic guitar in place, the J-40 is a testament to the legendary name’s mastery of the instrument.
