Constructed using recycled and sustainable materials like an HPL top and Richlite fingerboard, the Special 000C-X1E sounds as good as it looks.
Versatile Tonewoods
The guitar's spruce top and mahogany back and sides provide a balanced tone with crisp highs, warm lows and impressive projection. The combination gives the Special 000C-X1E a versatile voice that handles many musical styles with ease.
Fast, Comfortable Neck
The Special 000C-X1E's high-performance neck profile and Richlite fingerboard provide fast, effortless playing. A 1-3/4" nut width gives you ample room for complex chords and melodic runs. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned pro, you'll find the neck extremely playable.
Studio-Ready Electronics
The onboard Martin E-1 pickup system gives you a natural acoustic tone when plugged in. Volume and tone controls sit within easy reach below the soundhole, letting you shape your tone on the fly. An onboard tuner helps you stay in tune for optimal sound. Simply plug into your favorite amp or PA and you'll have professional-grade acoustic tone at your fingertips.
Eco-Friendly Build
