From Our Research Team:

The Little Martin That Could!

The LXBlack "Little Martin" features black HPL (high pressure laminate) on the top, back, sides, and headstock. The Martin LXBlack fingerboard and bridge are crafted from Macassar, and the neck is carved from natural colored Stratabond.

Like its predecessors, the Martin LXBlack is built with the same Martin quality craftsmanship, with an emphasis on producing great sound in a smaller guitar. The LXBlack "Little Martin" is durable and easy to play. The LXBlack is the perfect "pick up and play" guitar that lets you jam at home or own the road and is the perfect choice for students.

Your LXBlack "Little Martin" comes with a padded gig bag made of a tough ballistic cloth exterior, plush interior, backpack straps and a front zipper compartment.
