Top-tier tonewoods and Martin mastery





Whether you’re pickin’ current country standards or playing tunes from days gone by, the Martin CEO-10 plays, sounds, and looks incredible. Its Guatemalan rosewood body, FSC-certified European spruce top, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard make for a tonal cocktail you don’t want to miss. Not to mention, this guitar’s 000 body shape is supremely resonant, projective, and comfortable. The CEO-10 even features a rosewood pickguard with abalone inlays and a label signed by Martin CEO Thomas Ripsam. You can also thank Martin’s X-bracing ? a must-have on an acoustic with such vintage flare ? for the stiff top, superior tone, and precise notes you’ll find with the CEO-10.

Supremely playable neck





No matter how good a guitar sounds, it doesn't matter if it has an unwieldy neck. Luckily, Martin understands the importance of a solid, resonant, and playable neck. Martin luthiers start by attaching the CEO-10’s genuine mahogany neck to the body via a dovetail neck joint. This ensures copious resonance and tones both rich and pure. Next, Martin luthiers outfit the CEO-10 with a vintage deluxe neck profile ? a profile that’s sublimely comfortable and had its curves handed down from a 1930 Martin OM-45. Ontop of its genuine mahogany neck, the CEO-10 sports an ebony fingerboard with a smooth-playing, 16-inch fingerboard radius. On the whole, this Martin plays and sounds phenomenal.





A page from Martin’s golden era





Martin guitars from the “golden era” (pre-World War II) represent some of the most prized and coveted instruments on the planet. The CEO-10 embodies the spirit of those classic guitars with top-grade tonewoods and period-correct touches. And the sound is rich yet detailed, with incredible focus and balanced tonality.
