Martin CEO-7

Today we are playing a beautiful Martin CEO-7 acoustic guitar. With an Adirondack spruce top and mahogany back and sides, this guitar excels at finger-style and warmer bluesy strumming. Let us know what you think of the sound in the comments!

As always, the aim of the recording setup has been to capture the natural sound of the instrument; the sound from good quality speakers or headphones should be an accurate representation of the acoustic sound in the room. No processing is added to the recording.

Guitar Recording Chain: United Studio Technologies UT FET47 & AKG C414 / Neve 1073 DPX / RME Fireface UCX II / Logic Pro X
Vocal Recording Chain: Coles 4038 (muted during playing)
