Martin 000C Jr-E Junior Series Solid Wood Acoustic Electric Guitar

Martin 000C Jr-E Acoustic-Electric Guitar Junior Series Solid Wood

Full-Scale Martin Tone. Compact, Comfortable Design.

The Martin 000C Jr-E is a guitar that proves you don’t need a large body to get that unmistakable Martin sound.

Part of Martin’s refreshed Junior Series, the 000C Jr-E combines a comfortable 000-style Junior body with a full 24.9” scale length, giving it the familiar feel of a full-size Martin while making the overall instrument noticeably easier and more comfortable to hold.

Add a solid spruce top, solid sapele back and sides, scalloped X-bracing, a comfortable Performing Artist neck, a 14-fret cutaway, and Martin E1 electronics, and you have an acoustic-electric that is remarkably versatile.

And unlike many compact guitars, this isn’t a guitar that asks you to compromise on feel or construction. It’s a genuine Martin built for players who appreciate comfort without wanting to give up full-scale playability.

✅ Why You’ll Love This Guitar

Small Body. Full-Size Feel.

This is probably the best way to describe the 000C Jr-E.

The body is smaller and more comfortable than a traditional Martin 000, but the 24.9” scale length is the same scale Martin uses on many of its full-size 000 and OM-style instruments.

That means the fretting hand doesn’t feel like it’s playing a short-scale travel guitar.

You get familiar fret spacing, familiar string tension, and a familiar Martin playing experience—just in a more compact package.

✅ Big Martin Tone

The 000C Jr-E isn’t built like a typical inexpensive travel guitar.

The solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides provide the foundation for a surprisingly full and musical voice. The spruce top brings clarity, headroom and definition, while sapele contributes warmth, punch and a strong midrange presence. The result is a guitar that sounds considerably bigger than its physical dimensions suggest.

Comfortable From the First Chord

The compact 000 Junior body is exceptionally comfortable to play.

It’s a great choice for players who find a large Dreadnought cumbersome, but it’s also an excellent second guitar for anyone who simply enjoys the intimate response of a smaller body.

The Performing Artist neck profile with High-Performance Taper adds to the comfortable playing experience, while the gently beveled fingerboard edge gives the neck a broken-in feel.

Cutaway + Electronics

The 000C Jr-E adds two features that make it especially versatile.

The 14-fret cutaway provides easy access to the upper portion of the fingerboard, while Martin E1 electronics with a built-in tuner make the guitar ready for amplification. It’s equally at home on the couch, in the studio, at an open mic or on stage.

✅ Our Expert Opinion

The 000C Jr-E is one of those Martin models that makes a lot of sense the moment you pick it up.

There is a tendency to think of Junior Series guitars as being primarily for beginners or travel. The current Martin Junior Series deserves a much broader audience.

The 24.9” scale length changes everything.

You get the compact body and the comfort of a smaller instrument without the noticeably shortened feel of many travel guitars. For an experienced player, that makes the 000C Jr-E feel much more like a conventional Martin than the “Junior” name might suggest.

And because Martin didn’t cut corners on the tonewoods, the guitar has genuine acoustic character. The solid spruce/sapele combination and scalloped X-bracing give it a surprisingly mature voice.

For players who love Martin guitars but don’t always want to wrap their arms around a Dreadnought, this one deserves a serious look.

✅ Tone Profile

Spruce Top

Clear, articulate and responsive, with plenty of definition for both strumming and fingerstyle playing.

Solid Sapele Back & Sides

Sapele gives the guitar warmth and punch while retaining excellent clarity. It has some of the tonal character players enjoy from mahogany-family woods, with a balanced response that works well across a variety of playing styles.

Scalloped X-Bracing

The scalloped spruce X-bracing helps the top respond freely, contributing to the volume, resonance and dynamic response that make this compact Martin sound much larger than it looks.

Overall Voice

Warm • Balanced • Clear • Punchy • Responsive

The 000C Jr-E is particularly well suited to singer-songwriters, fingerstyle players, light-to-medium strumming and anyone who appreciates a comfortable guitar with a balanced, intimate voice.

✅ Who It’s Perfect For

The Player Who Wants a Smaller Martin

If a Dreadnought feels like more guitar than you need, the 000C Jr-E offers a much more manageable footprint without giving up the full-scale experience.

The Experienced Player

The 24.9” scale makes the transition from a traditional Martin remarkably natural.

The Singer-Songwriter

The comfortable body size and balanced tone make this an excellent songwriting companion.

The Fingerstyle Player

The smaller body and responsive spruce top provide excellent control and articulation.

The Gigging Musician

With the cutaway, onboard tuner and Martin E1 electronics, this guitar is ready to plug in and perform.

The Player Looking for a Comfortable Everyday Guitar

Sometimes you simply want a guitar that’s easy to pick up, easy to hold and easy to play. That’s where the 000C Jr-E really shines.

✅ Tobias Music Insight

We’ve always believed that the best guitars are the ones that make you want to pick them up and play.

That’s exactly what makes the 000C Jr-E so appealing.

The smaller body is immediately comfortable, but the 24.9” scale keeps the playing experience familiar. You’re not adapting your technique to a miniature instrument—you’re simply playing a full-scale Martin in a more comfortable package.

For many players, that can be a revelation.

And the combination of solid spruce, solid sapele and scalloped X-bracing gives this guitar much more acoustic depth than its compact dimensions might suggest.

It’s a particularly smart choice for players who want a Martin for everyday playing but don’t necessarily want the physical size of a Dreadnought.

Small body. Full-scale feel. Genuine Martin tone.

That’s a pretty compelling combination.
