Features Solid Sitka Spruce Top Solid East Indian Rosewood back & sides Performing Artist Neck Profile Fishman F1 Aura onboard electronics Arrow and Square fingerboard inlays Description Product Description The new Performing Artist Series comes very close to setting a new standard in acoustic/electric guitars for player comfort and performance. The Performing Artist Series was conceived with the idea of combining legendary Martin tone and appointments with new player-friendly features for outstanding playability and tonal performance. Best of all, the Performing Artist Series guitars with newly designed Fishman F1 Aura onboard electronics, sound as spectacular as they look. Articulate, yet powerful, this new Fishman system delivers stunning realism and projection in an easy-to-use onboard preamp system. With only two low profile knobs and a single LED display, F1 Aura offers advanced features in a minimalist design: digital chromatic tuner, volume and blend controls, independent 3-band EQ for both pickup and image signals, compressor, phase control and an automatic anti-feedback filter with up to 3 notches. The genius of the F1 Aura is its ability to replicate the sound of nine different world-class studio microphones. Here, Fishman engineers have captured the distinctive audio image that these high-quality microphones hear and allow you to blend it in with the legendary Martin Gold Plus under-saddle pickup. Comes with a hardshell case.
