Player's Perspective

We're proud to bring you this beautiful CEO-9 from our friends over at Martin Guitars! This, being the 9th guitar designed for limited production by Chris Martin IV, is a wonderful combination of beauty, functionality, and simply put, a guitar that will bring a smile to your face every time you pick it up.

The 00 body shape is one of our favorites because of how darn comfortable it is to play. Along with the smaller body, the 24.9" scale length is extremely comfortable and allows the strings to retain a slinky quality to them that is really nice. But unlike a lot of small-bodied guitars out there, this one still has a big, full, warm sound that was one of the first things we noticed when we first pulled this out of the box from Martin. This would be a fantastic guitar for a singer-songwriter who needs dynamics, a full sound, but also doesn't want a guitar that will overpower the vocals.

The curly mango top, back, and sides have a very reminiscent tone to mahogany. It's very balanced with a nice tight low end, a present midrange that'll help the guitar remain defined and articulate, and a top end that is not shrill or piercing while still being clear, open and airy. But I would also say that it has much better projection and volume than mahogany, which is what allows for a sound that is bigger than one might expect out of this little bad boy. The figuring on this curly mango is also beautifully unique with some really nice flame in addition to some quilt patterns as well. There's a certain rustic look to this guitar that just seems wonderfully old-timey.

Fit and finish, playability, and overall construction are all off the charts on this one. It's one of the easiest playing acoustic guitars we've come across, without a doubt. It just makes you never want to put it down.
