MP14 MA/STF Martinez Crossover Series classic guitar, solid spruce top, maple b&s, ebony fb, Martinez STF pickup, 14 fret

The innovative Crossover series offers instruments with a narrower neck, a radiused fingerboard and a new, innovative pickup system.
The smaller body feels very comfortable and playability is spot-on. The ideal guitar for steelstring or electric guitarplayers. These players are mainly used to a narrower neck than the standard classical guitarneck of 52 mm. Another feature that is taken from the steelstring guitars is the radiused fingerboards. A big improvement in playability for this specific group of guitarists.
This insturment has a body/neck connection at the 14th fret, another feature that will feel familiar for the steelstring guitarist. We have combined this feature with a slightly shorter scale. This way the playability is enhanced and the sound improved.
A true crossover guitar!

The MP14MA has a solid spruce top and flamed maple sides and back. A beautiful instrument that will be a visual strongpoint on stage! The sound is clear and dry, great sound with a shorter decay time than the other versions. A great response for fast playing.
The Martinez STF pickup system is a revelation to the ear. The undersaddle pickup with combined microphone system not only amplify 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 add 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)
