Martin 000RS1

A Killer 000 for Working Guitarists

The solid-wood 000RS1 delivers acclaimed Martin quality at a remarkably low price. The newest member of Martin’s Road Series, the 000RS1 offers performing musicians the satisfying sound of an all sapele body, something singer-songwriters and Sweetwater love because it leaves a bit of room for vocals to breath. To bring that rich and warm sound to life onstage, Martin outfitted this comfortable 14-fret 000 acoustic with a Fishman Sonitone electronics system and its modified low oval neck is a hit with a wide range of gigging guitarists.

Solid Sapele gives your vocals sonic space

The Martin 000RS1 uses solid tonewoods that typically aren’t found on a guitar this affordable. The top, back, and sides are made from solid sapele, which has the same richness and depth mahogany is used for. Not only does that tonewood combination offer extra rich and warm lows with clear high, it naturally scoops a bit of the mids, offering a bit of breathing room for vocals.

True Martin craftsmanship plays like a dream

A member of Martin’s Road series, the 000RS1 gives you amazing sound and snappy good looks in a roadworthy instrument. Top, back and sides are braced for maximum resonance and projection, and the 000RS1’s smooth-playing, modified low oval neck is built with select hardwood for extra rigidity and durability. The belly bridge and fingerboard are made of Black Richlite, which has a similar look and feel to ebony. But you’ve only got to strum it once to know that you’re holding a Martin.
