Sustainable building materials





One of the most appealing features of the Little Martin LXK2 is how Martin designed it with materials that are simultaneously environmentally sustainable, durable, and more than capable of delivering traditional Martin acoustic tone! The bridge and fingerboard are made with FSC Richlite, a long-lasting composite material that offers old-school Martin tone but with space-age reliability. Richlite is totally unaffected by temperature and humidity changes, making it a perfect choice for musicians who travel often or live in challenging climates. In addition, the koa HPL back and sides deliver a lively sound, and they're far less likely to dry out and crack compared to solid wood designs.
