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.  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.  The distinctive Dreadnought Junior body size is a great guitar for players of all levels that is really easy to play, yet maintains the booming bass attributed to the Dreadnought body shape. 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. 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. The D Jr. 2 Sapele acoustic guitar uses Sapele as the foundation for the top, back and sides, while Richlite, an Ebony alternative with similar hardness and appearance, is chosen for the fretboard and bridge, with a hand-rubbed body and neck finish. 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.  Equipped with a Martin gigbag, you can take this guitar just about anywhere!    Features: Construction: Mortise &Tenon Neck Joint Body Size: Dreadnought Junior - 14 Fret Top: Sapele Rosette: Multi-Stripe Bracing Pattern: X Brace Brace Material: Sitka Spruce 1/4" Back Material: Sapele Side Material:  Sapele Neck Material: Select Hardwood Neck Shape: Dreadnought Junior  Neck Taper: High Performance Taper Nut Material: White Corian Plek: Yes Headstock Shape: Solid with Dreadnought Junior Taper Headplate: Rosewood HPL Headplate Logo Style: Script Ink Fingerboard Material: FSC Certified Richlite Scale Length: 24'' Neck Joins Body At: 14th Fret Number Of Frets Total: 20 Fretboard Width At Nut: 1-3/4'' Fretboard Width At 12th Fret: 2-1/8'' Fretboard Inlay Material: White Plastic Fretboard Inlay Style: Dots Side Dots: White Back and Side Finish: Hand Rubbed Finish Top: Hand Rubbed Finish Neck: Hand Rubbed Bridge Material: FSC Certified Richlite Bridge Style: Junior Style Belly Bridge String Spacing: 2 5/32" Saddle: 16'' Radius Tuning Machines: Chrome Enclosed Gear Recommended Strings: SP Lifespan 92/8 Phosphor Bronze Medium (MSP7200) Knob: Small Bridge Pin Material: White Plastic Bridge Pin Dots: Black Plastic Pickguard: Faux Tortoise Case: Gig Bag Interior Label: Paper Label     At The Music Farm, we take quality seriously!
