Martin Guitar 000JR-10E Shawn Mendes B-Stock

The Martin Guitars 000JR-10E Shawn Mendes delivers a well-balanced tone thanks to its solid sapele body and solid spruce top, and it will capably handle everything from full-sounding chordal rhythms to dynamic finger-picked passages. The mahogany neck, which features a 20-fret ebony fingerboard, has both a shorter scale length of 609mm (24") and a slim-taper profile, making this guitar comfortable for even those of smaller stature to play. As mentioned above, the Martin 000JR-10E also comes equipped with a Fishman Sonitone preamp system, which reproduces the guitar's warm, natural sound in environments that require a little more volume. The system features dedicated controls for volume and tone and, since it sits almost completely concealed inside the soundhole, leaves the instrument's authentic looks unspoiled.

Martin Guitars was founded in 1833 and is thus one of the most long-established brands in the history of the acoustic guitar. Several of Martin’s developments – including the dreadnought shape, robust X-bracing, the placement of the neck-to-body transition at the 14th fret (as opposed to the 12th fret as found on classical guitars), and the use of steel strings – have now become staples of modern guitar construction that countless other manufacturers have since adopted. To put it another way: Music today would sound very different had it not been for C.F. Martin & Co.
