From the Felix artwork to the Martin tone, this acoustic is the cat's meow!
While the Felix guitar is a fun and wonderful novelty, it is first and foremost a real Martin guitar.
And as with all Martin guitars, tone, playability, and quality are integral to its design.
The body is a compact 0
size, similar to our traditional tenor design. An adjustable, modified low profile 14-fret neck (23" scale) was selected for
easy playability. Gotoh Cosmo Black tuning machines with embossed C.F. Marti logo are chosen for precision and appearance.
The
Felix III makes use of Martin's highly advanced X technology, with textured HPL (high pressure laminate) one-panel back and
sides. The top, also of durable HPL material, is reinforced with style Sitka spruce cross braces. Fingerboard and bridge are
crafted of black Micarta, an excellent and environmentally friendly alternative to ebony. Nut and compensated saddle are shaped
from black Corian and TUSQ material, respectively.
