The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.   The 000C Nylon Cutaway is a 000-12 Fret Cutaway body size featuring a wide neck, slotted headstock and classical style bridge.  The solid Sitka Spruce top and Sapele back and sides give you detailed projection with full mids and lows. The satin finished low profile, standard taper neck is paired with a 20 fret Richlite fretboard with a slightly wider 47mm nut width making it easier to play than traditional classical guitars.  An extended cutaway gives you access to all the notes on the fretboard. This 000C Nylon is stage-ready with onboard Fishman F1 Analog electronics.  Martin Guitar has been Pleking their instruments for close to a decade and 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.  Nothing should 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. At The Music Farm, we take quality seriously! That is why we have our in-house technicians do a multi-point inspection on each product, ensuring that it'll be ready to play when it hits your hands! Included in your shipment will be instructions on care and maintenance.  We want to help you Grow Your Passion®   The Music Farm is an Authorized Martin Dealer.
