Just the right size! Why wait? Getting children involved with music at a young age can open up so many doors for their future. This Martin Junior Dreadnought is the perfect thing. The smaller body with Martin quality you can trust. Affordably priced, the D. Jr. is ideal for smaller players, students, travelers, or anyone who aspires to the clarity and depth of tone that has defined Martin instruments for more than 180 years. Learning something new is frustrating enough, let alone with tools that don't work properly. By purchasing a cheap starter guitar, you're getting just that. With the Martin brand comes a standing name and promise to provide quality instruments at a great price.  Fashioned for player comfort, clear powerful tone and easy action, the Dreadnought Junior is reduced to approximately 15/16" of the full Martin 14-fret Dreadnought dimension (14-1/4" width at the lower bout) with an expressive 24" scale length. A solid Sitka Spruce top features scalloped 1/4" high performance X-bracing with a single asymmetrical tone bar. The back and sides are bookmatched from solid Sapele, while Richlite, an Ebony alternative with similar hardness and appearance, is chosen for the fretboard and bridge. The Dreadnought Junior (aka "D Jr") comes factory-equipped with Fishman's Sonitone sound reinforcement system. For 183 years, Martin Guitar has been at the forefront of guitar innovation, responsible guitar building practices and premier craftsmanship, bringing to its consumers the best acoustic guitars in the world. Martin Guitar has been Pleking their instruments for close to a decade and they believe this process helps maintain the undeniable Martin guitar sound that is recognizable worldwide. A Martin guitar with optimized playability enhances the tone of their guitars, as it prevents the strings from buzzing on the frets during playing and eliminates intonation problems that may occur due to inaccurate nut height. Martin wants nothing to come between your playability and that iconic Martin tone. This remains their longstanding commitment to all guitar players worldwide. What is Plek®?
The Plek® Pro has been developed for use in guitar production factories as a tool that not only does precise fret dressing, but also helps with quality control and R&D. This computer controlled device scans and dresses a guitar under actual playing conditions, strung and tuned to pitch or using precise string tension emulation. This is a major breakthrough since the Plek® Pro identifies precisely what needs to be done for perfect fretwork, executes this rapidly, and delivers perfect results on the instrument when strung. The Plek® Pro speeds up the production process and raises the quality of instruments to an extremely high and consistent level.
