Sound Pure's Take

The Martin CEO-7 is just as nice as the title suggest, CEO worthy. Hand picked by a Martin ambassador, you can tell from the getgo that this guitar has some serious sound to it. The Adirondack spruce top has all the headroom you could ever need and is responsive to the touch. The solid mahogany back and sides have a great balance that compliment the Addy well, it's a guitar that could be used in a ton of different contexts and sound great for them all. If only all Martin's spoke to me the way this piece does!

From Martin and Co.

Reminiscent of models from the “Golden Era”, the CEO-7 features a sunburst finish, golden age tuners and authentic headplate lettering. This new 14-fret short scale 00 “sloped shoulder” model features a solid Adirondack spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides for complex tonality.
