The Basics
Constructed of non-traditional materials, including a brushed-aluminum top, a Stratabond® neck and jet black high pressure laminate back and sides, the ALternative X delivers a surprisingly warm, rich, and full tone, either acoustically or through its onboard electronics system. This bold cutaway Martin creation proves that the modern guitar can succeed tonally with an array of ingeniously applied alternative materials.
