The LX1 Little Martin Acoustic Guitar is a great small travel and beginning student guitar but with the build and likes of a guitar that even a seasoned player will love. It has a solid Sitka spruce top, a modified 0-14 body to guarantee tight, rich tone. It also has a solid East Indian rosewood fretboard and bridge, 23" scale, Stratabond modified low-oval neck, and Martin's patented mortise/tenon neck joint. A truly amazing guitar for a very fair price.
