Martinez ES-08S-CE cutaway Flamenco Guitar

Martinez ES-08S-CE cutaway electroacoustic flamenco guitar with Fishman preamp.

New improved model of flamenco guitar from Martinez. This guitar has the same template as the popular MFG-AS model, the difference is in the reinforcements of the top that allow a less rounded sound, more direct (thundering bass), or rather more flamenco for lovers of the “dry” sound of the flamenco guitar. It responds very well in all registers and highlights its low action of the strings.

Great sound projection, bridge with tilt giving the possibility of lowering the action and steel rod in perfect neck to give relief to the fingerboard.

Spruce top specially chosen for its flamenco response, laminated cypress (Agathis) back and sides, cedar neck, ebony fingerboard. Truss rod system for neck adjustment.

A feature that Martinez incorporated a long time ago is the “Truss Rod” in the neck. The truss rod is a metal bar inserted inside the neck to adjust its curvature, compensating the tension of the strings. Thanks to the truss rod the string action (height) of Martinez guitars can be easily adjusted and makes the instrument much more resistant to the passage of time.
