Martin J-40 Torrefied Top with LR Baggs Element Pickup – Pre-Owned, Mint
This pre-owned Martin J-40 is in mint condition and comes equipped with an LR Baggs Element pickup, making it stage- and studio-ready.
What makes this J-40 truly special is its torrefied Sitka spruce top. Through a specialized aging process, the top is heat-treated to mimic the natural properties of decades-old tonewood. The result is a guitar that responds with the warmth, resonance, and openness of a well-played vintage Martin—right out of the case. The torrefied top enhances sustain, improves clarity, and gives this J-40 a mature, broken-in voice that only gets better the more you play it.
The J-40’s jumbo body provides powerful projection and deep low-end presence, while its scalloped X-bracing keeps the tone balanced and dynamic across the spectrum. Whether strummed, flatpicked, or fingerpicked, this guitar delivers rich, complex tone with incredible headroom.
