The top is torrefied. It has been heat-treated at a high temperature in an oxygen-free environment, which dries the wood out completely and breaks down some of the resins. This makes the top lighter and stiffer, with the aim of achieving the open, mature tone you would otherwise associate with older guitars. With its Style 18 look and LR Baggs Element, it is just as much at home in the living room as it is on stage.
- LR Baggs Element, stage-ready with no extra installation needed
- Short scale length that is easy to play
- Supplied in a Martin soft case

Torrefied top
The top is torrefied spruce, heat-treated to provide an open sound. This treatment was previously reserved for Martin's most expensive series. Together with scalloped X-bracing and solid mahogany back and sides, it creates a 000 where the top vibrates freely, even when playing softly.
Style 18 with pickup
Old Style 18 binding, black binding, and a high-gloss finish give it the same look as a classic 000-18. With a built-in LR Baggs Element pickup, you plug the cable directly into the amplifier or mixer.
