Overview

Robust acoustic tone, a unique look and advanced electronics.

The Martin XC1T Ellipse Acoustic-Electric Guitar has a durable, high-pressure laminate body design, which delivers robust guitar tone. The solid Sitka spruce top, and tawny satinwood sides and back contribute to the tone while producing a unique look.

Made of rosewood, maple, and 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.
