The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Compact 000 body delivers balanced midrange presence typical of the size; satin spruce top with vintage burst aesthetic; Brazilian rosewood-patterned HPL back/sides provide durability and tonal consistency; built-in electronics ready for amplification without modification.
Short scale suits smaller frames and players seeking comfort over traditional dreadnought dimensions. HPL construction requires no special humidity management. Verify onboard pickup system compatibility with existing cables and preamps before purchase.
A refined 000 that prioritizes playability and visual character without compromising tonal substance. The Brazilian Burst Special justifies its price through practical design and reliable amplification readiness for players beyond the beginner stage.

000-X2E Brazilian Burst Special
The Martin 000-X2E Brazilian Burst Special expands the X Series lineup with upgraded style and performance. A satin solid spruce top in a vintage burst finish pairs with Brazilian rosewood-patterned HPL back and sides for classic Martin tone and exceptional durability in changing environments. The comfortable 000 body size and short 24.9" scale length offer balanced response and a relaxed feel, ideal for a wide range of playing styles. Special appointments—including faux mother-of-pearl diamond and square fingerboard inlays, a single ring faux abalone rosette, and a unique Martin block logo on the headplate—set it apart from other X Series models. With built-in Martin E1 electronics and a softshell case included, it’s ready for wherever your music takes you.
