For sale Martin Keith Semi-Hollow Short Scale

a few questions. Where's the carbon fiber in the neck?
Can you measure the neck width at the nut, 12th and 24th frets?

Really wish I had money for you my friend. Would love to have another one of these, and one with two pickups. Amazing instruments.

Tagging in @77stingray regarding the neck since this was their custom build. As far as neck width I will measure and get back. Thanks for your interest!

There is a thin layer of carbon fiber between the center of the neck and the mahogany that you see on the outside. It allows Martin to use softer woods internally which cuts down on weight. It's a super stable neck, a more resonant neck, and it will give a warmer sound to the instrument all around.

do you have any clips of this instrument?

I don't. As you might imagine, it sounds warm, woody, articulate. Works well acoustically as well as plugged in. Attached are photos of measurements for you: nut, 12th, 24th.

And for anyone who may not know, these have bent sides and are braced like a true acoustic instrument, but have a partial center block that makes it semi-hollow

Indeed. He's not wrong at all. For those checking out this thread, be sure you visit @emjazz's Instagram feed. His Martin Keith is on display a lot - also, he's a much more skilled player than me

But you can def get an idea of how these lovely instruments sound.

Not my bass, brother....that's definitely yours by now! So happy you're still in love and enjoying it! Brian would be thrilled as well!

Martin makes a proprietary neck with a softer wood center surrounded by carbon fiber and maple on the outside.
