Jumbo guitars are a rare thing for Martin, but for anyone who's played one, they're one of the most remarkable instruments out there. Updated in 2018, this J-40 features the tight-wasted body that many guitarists find exceptionally comfortable, while the classic combination of solid rosewood topped with spruce delivers satisfying tonal balance and harmonic detail that we tend to think of when we imagine how an acoustic guitar should sound. Combined with an oversized body, the J-40 offers absolutely room-filling projection that translates extraordinarily from the stage to the studio. Top that off with refined aesthetics, and you have the guitar of a lifetime.
