In recent years, musical instrument makers have been experimenting seriously with ‘non-traditional’ woods and materials, largely due to conservation efforts and import restrictions. In this instrument, Martin uses cherry and European spruce for the body, with mahogany for the neck and Richlite for the fingerboard and bridge.
