J-40 is the top jumbo model in the Standard series of acoustic guitars in Martin catalog. Models of this series are matched by a very few guitars from other manufacturers, as Martin holds the standards very high. J-40 is a non-cutaway jumbo with a body made of solid rosewood back and side panels and solid spruce sound board. This is one of two most frequent wood combinations in the standard series and it brings big, warm and strong tone. Standard series models are usually equipped with ebony bridges and fingerboards and hardwood necks. J-40 is no exception to this rule and the tested and tried recipe makes for another supreme guitar. From the craftsmanship, to playability and tone, this jumbo is one of the finest on the market.
