Drawing from its heritage and the "Golden Era" of acoustic design, the Martin CEO-7 is a compact, sloped-shoulder 00 that punches well above its weight. Designed by C.F. Martin IV, this model blends 1930s-inspired aesthetics with modern precision, offering a unique alternative to the traditional Martin silhouette.

The CEO-7 is built for complex tonality and impressive projection. It features a solid Adirondack spruce top, a wood prized for its high ceiling and dynamic range, allowing it to respond beautifully to both light fingerpicking and aggressive strumming. This is paired with solid mahogany back and sides, which provide a warm, punchy midrange and a clear, focused "dry" sound that is iconic of small-body mahogany guitars.

With its 00-14 Fret Slope Shoulder body size, the CEO-7 offers a comfortable, intimate playing experience. The short-scale (24.9”) neck reduces string tension, making it easier to navigate, while the Modified V neck profile and 1 ¾” nut width provide a substantial, vintage feel that many players find ideal for fingerstyle and blues.

This guitar is a visual standout, finished in a striking Autumn Sunset Burst gloss. The throwback charm is further enhanced by:

• Golden Age Relic Nickel tuners with cream buttons.
• Antique White binding and a multi-stripe rosette.
• Script Authentic 1933 headplate lettering.
• Old Style 18 abalone inlays on a dark ebony fingerboard.
