MFG-ASCE Martinez Flamenco Series flamenco guitar with solid spruce top, agathis b&s, pau ferro fb, Martinez STF pickup

A great and modern flamenco guitar! The built of this cutaway guitar is based on the famous flamenco instruments, albeit in a very price-consious package. The agathis sides and back and solid spruce top respond well and the playability is excellent.The Martinez STF pickup system is a revelation to the ear. The undersaddle pickup with combined microphone system not only amplifies the natural tone very accurately, this system has some special features: Internally installed on the back of the guitar is a driver that makes the back respond like a loudspeaker. So, without being plugged in, you can ass effects to your acoustic tone. Available are two different reverbs, chorus or delay.

A unique feature, not found on any other nylonstring guitar. The internal 18650 battery (same type as Tesla installs 7104 pcs of in their model S and X cars!) is rechargeable.

Some advantages of lithium ion over NiMh or NiCd:
- 30% lighter
- shorter charge times
- almost zero self discharge
- no toxic components like cadmium or mercury
- no 'memory effect' (decreasing capacity when reloaded while not completely empty)
