Description
The Martin XC1T Ellipse has a durable, high-pressure laminate body design, which delivers robust guitar tone. The solid Sitka spruce top & tawny satinwood back & sides contribute to the tone while producing a unique look. Made of rosewood, maple & koa, the wooden rosette adds an elegant touch to the top. The low-profile oval-shaped neck with soft cutaway is incredibly easy to play. A Fishman Ellipse Blend system combines signals from an internally mounted microphone with an undersaddle transducer. Discrete controls (volume, mic/pickup blend, phase) are mounted inside the soundhole for easy access. Professionally set up & ready to play upon arrival.
