Martinez Standard MC48C - natural

Designed for beginners looking for an affordable instrument that’s high-quality enough to keep for the long term, the MARTINEZ Standard MC48C is a 4/4-size classical guitar that checks all the boxes.

Its traditional construction (with “Spanish fan” bracing) features an all-solid-wood construction with a cedar top, a laminated mahogany body, a mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard.
Cedar (a conifer native to the Middle East, North Africa, and the Himalayas, and naturalized in Europe) is a less dense wood than spruce. Acoustically, this characteristic translates to added warmth. Cedar tends to amplify soft sounds while tempering the high volumes produced by powerful strums.
The Martinez MC48C thus produces responsive, rich, and warm tones with bass that is both smooth and precise, punchy mids, and clear highs.
It is well-suited to a wide range of musical styles: classical, of course, but also flamenco, bossa nova, and French chanson.

A closer look at the Martinez MC48 reveals the care taken in component selection, assembly, fretting, and finishes (high-gloss varnish, mother-of-pearl and wood inlays).
