Frequently Asked Questions
The Anthem is a significant step up, providing a more natural and nuanced amplified tone with better string definition and reduced feedback – it’s a system favored by many performing musicians.
The walnut neck has a comfortable, low profile that should suit a wide range of hand sizes, although it's slightly more substantial than some of Martin’s thinner profiles.
The finish is relatively thin and nitrocellulose, so it's unlikely to significantly impact the tone; the wood's characteristics are the dominant factor in the guitar's sound.
