Your Full-Scale Companion in a Compact Package
You know that feeling when you pick up a guitar and it just feels right? The Martin 000C Jr-E nails it—compact enough to grab off the couch for a quick writing session, substantial enough that you never feel like you're compromising. This guitar pairs a solid spruce top with solid sapele back and sides, delivering balanced tone with crisp highs and punchy midrange, and it sounds bigger than its size suggests. With a 1 3/4" nut width and 24.9-inch scale length with the Performing Artist neck profile, it plays like a full-scale Martin—because it is one—in a body that fits your lap, your hands, and your life.
The cutaway 000 Junior body gets you up the neck with ease, while the gently beveled fingerboard edge makes long playing sessions effortless. When it's time to plug in, Martin E1 electronics with a built-in tuner let you shape your tone with precision. Whether you're writing at home, warming up backstage, or heading out for a gig, this guitar is ready to go.
All-Solid Tonewoods, Full Martin Sound
The solid spruce top provides crisp highs and balanced projection, while solid sapele back and sides add warmth and punchy midrange—a combination that gives you clarity when you need it and body when you lean in. Scalloped spruce X-bracing enhances resonance, giving you the depth and responsiveness you'd expect from a full-size Martin. The all-solid construction means this guitar will continue to open up and improve with age, and the satin finish lets the wood breathe and resonate freely.
The hardwood neck is attached via a mortise and tenon neck joint and capped with a Richlite fingerboard, offering both structural resonance and long-lasting durability. Richlite is Martin's sustainable alternative to ebony—it feels smooth, won't crack or warp, and delivers consistent tone across the entire fretboard. The fingerboard features 20 frets and a comfortable 16-inch radius that balances chord work and single-note runs beautifully.
Built for Playability and Comfort
The 24.9" scale length offers a familiar feel, while the Performing Artist neck profile with a high-performance taper and cutaway allows for smooth playability and easy access to the higher frets. This isn't a scaled-down student guitar—it's a full-scale Martin that happens to fit in a smaller, more comfortable body. The refined string spacing and beveled fingerboard edges are thoughtful touches that make a real difference during extended playing sessions.
The cutaway design opens up the upper register without compromising the guitar's acoustic voice. Whether you're a fingerstyle player exploring melodic ideas or a flatpicker who needs room to work, the 000C Jr-E gives you the access you need. And at a more compact size, it's easier on your shoulder and easier to travel with—without any of the compromises that usually come with smaller guitars.
Stage-Ready Electronics
The Martin E-1 electronics system lets you plug in at gigs or your recording interface to achieve a dynamic and natural sound, with Volume/Phase and Tone controls mounted for discreet and easy access underneath the soundhole. The built-in chromatic tuner keeps your guitar sounding dialed in without requiring an instrument cable—just hit the tuner button and you're muted for silent tuning on stage or in the studio.
The E1 system is straightforward and reliable, capturing the natural voice of the guitar without coloring the tone. You get the controls you need—volume, tone, and phase—without a cluttered interface. It's designed to get out of your way and let the guitar do the talking.
