Frequently Asked Questions
The Anthem system is known for its natural response, employing an under-saddle transducer and microphone to capture more of the guitar's body resonance than simpler systems.
The walnut neck has a modified low profile, offering a comfortable feel, but it's slightly more substantial than some of Martin's slimmer profiles, best suited for players who prefer a bit more wood in their hand.
Maple delivers a focused, clear tone with strong projection and shimmering overtones; it’s less ‘woody’ than mahogany but offers a more articulate and defined sound, particularly well-suited for brighter playing styles.
