The Martin J-40 is a standout in Martin’s acoustic line-up that has a superb sound and style. Its Jumbo body size combines a tight-waisted shape with powerful projection, delivering resonant bass, clear trebles, and fantastic balance that suits any playing style. The J-40 is handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides. The satin genuine mahogany neck with a Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4" scale length means that this guitar is so comfortable to play. Luxurious details, including its abalone rosette and bound ebony fingerboard with hexagon inlays and gold Martin tuners means that this guitar looks as good as it sounds.
Despite being over 30 years old the guitar is in fantastic condition – it does have some very minor dings/bumps and swirl marks to the top and body but so small that we couldn’t catch in pictures – There is an aftermarket pickup fitted to the guitar - an under saddle pickup wired through ab end pin and has a small volume control mounted just inside the sound hole. The guitar comes complete with its original Martin embossed hard shell case.
