Electro-acoustic Grand Jumbo acoustic guitar in solid construction with Fishman sound hole pickup, including case
With the Martin Guitars CEO 8.2E, the historic company from Nazareth, Pennsylvania impressively proves that traditional guitar making and modern detailed solutions are not mutually exclusive. Due to the solid construction with FSC-certified woods, the electro-acoustic Grand Jumbo convinces with a powerful sound, whose fine-resolved vintage details are transferred from the Fishman Blackstack pickup to the amplifier with natural warmth and dynamics.

Martin CEO 8.2E: Solid Grand Jumbo with high playing comfort
With the gigantic Grand Jumbo body made of solid mahogany, the Martin CEO 8.2E impresses with a room-filling, warm sound, which is complemented by the solid top made of European spruce with nuanced brilliance in the finely resolved height spectrum. The Vintage Tone System (VTS), in which the woods undergo a complex heat treatment, promises the incomparable dynamics and smooth sound development of an instrument played over several decades. With the "Modified Low Oval" profile, the FSC-certified mahogany neck also fits comfortably in the hand, while the FSC-certified ebony fingerboard with its flat string position makes every note disappear with ease.
The Fishman Blackstack Humbucker is installed in the sound hole of the Martin CEO 8.2, while the bridge is equipped with liquid metal pins.
Fishman Blackstack for stage use, high tech bridge pins
The unmistakable Fishman Blackstack pickup in the sound hole makes the Martin CEO 8.2E ideal for increased use on stage or in recording studios. The passive stacked humbucker, whose characteristics have been perfectly tuned for use with acoustic guitar strings made of bronze or phosphor bronze, impresses with a strong vintage sound image that captures the dynamics and warmth of solid woods with detailed naturalness.
While the headstock of the Martin CEO 8.2E features classic Grover Vintage tuners for a precise and stable tuning, Martin uses a real high-end material for the liquid metal bridge pins. Due to the special, amorphous metal structure, the bridge pins have a particularly high stability, which is also noticeable in sound due to a slightly increased volume.
