The Martin J-40 stands as a true icon in Martin’s lineup, offering a powerful voice and striking aesthetics that leave a lasting impression. This Jumbo body guitar features a larger yet tight-waisted shape, delivering remarkable projection with deep, resonant bass and shimmering treble tones. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the J-40 produces a dynamic sound with rich overtones, perfect for any style of play. The satin-finished mahogany neck, with a Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile and high-performance taper, ensures smooth and comfortable playability. Elegant details such as the abalone rosette, bound ebony fingerboard with hexagon inlays, antique white binding, and gold open-gear tuners add to the guitar’s timeless beauty. The ebony bridge with bone pins further complements the instrument’s sophistication. Martin’s 2025 Standard Series includes updates for enhanced tone, comfort, and style, including Sitka spruce GE top bracing for vintage-inspired tone and sustain, along with a reworked neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge for improved playability. This guitar is a masterpiece, complete with a hardshell case. Now available exclusively at Haggerty’s Music.
