Featuring an East Indian rosewood body and a solid spruce top, this guitar delivers an expansive yet balanced tonal palette. The jumbo body shape, combined with Golden Era forward-shifted scalloped X bracing, enhances projection and sustain while maintaining clarity across the frequency spectrum.

With a dovetail neck joint ensuring superior resonance and a Plek setup for optimal playability, this guitar is built to inspire both on stage and in the studio. Its powerful voice and refined appointments make it a standout instrument for discerning players.
Martin Golden Era Bracing For Enhanced Projection
The Golden Era forward-shifted scalloped X bracing in this left-handed jumbo acoustic is designed to maximize tonal output and responsiveness. By positioning the braces closer to the soundhole, the top vibrates more freely, resulting in greater volume and sustain. This bracing pattern also enhances the guitar's tonal balance, ensuring a rich low end, articulate mids, and shimmering highs. Whether strumming chords or fingerpicking intricate melodies, the bracing system ensures every note is vibrant and full-bodied. Combined with the jumbo body shape, this design delivers a powerful and immersive sound that fills any space.
Martin J-40 Optimized Playability With Plek Precision
The Martin J-40 features a Modified Low Oval neck with a High Performance Taper, designed for exceptional comfort and effortless playability. The neck is crafted from genuine mahogany and joined to the body with a hand-fitted dovetail joint for maximum tonal transfer. A computerized Plek setup ensures perfectly leveled frets, allowing for smooth action and accurate intonation across the entire fingerboard. The 1-3/4" nut width and 25.4" scale length provide an ideal balance for both intricate fingerstyle work and powerful strumming. Together, these features make this guitar a pleasure to play in any setting.
J-40 Acoustic Guitar With Premium Aesthetic Details And Materials
From its antique white binding to its abalone rosette, the Martin J-40 is adorned with elegant appointments that reflect its high-end craftsmanship. The ebony fingerboard features reduced hexagon inlays, while the headstock showcases a block inlay logo for a refined look. Gold open-gear tuners not only add a vintage touch but also provide precise and stable tuning. The gloss finish on the body enhances the natural beauty of the East Indian rosewood and spruce tonewoods, while the satin finish on the neck ensures a smooth, tactile playing experience. These thoughtful details elevate the J-40's visual appeal.
Durable Build For Long-Term Performance
