Congratulations - Looks very nice

Congratulations!
That is one great guitar you have there! Wow!
One question though, as i have never heard this before:

Could you provide a picture? And what is the reason behind the placement in the soundhole?
What do these switches do?

Hi Jeff,
Happy NGD :partying_face: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I wish you a lot of time together :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

Greetings

Hi there,

I thought it was very peculiar myself and did some research online. Martin designed it this way to make it look like a traditional acoustic guitar without obvious electronics. Inside the sound hole is a volume and tone control plus a phase switch to decrease electronic feedback and bass. On the other side is a built in tuner so you can tune your guitar on stage.

Thanks Tony.

Thanks Roger. I was supposed to be buying a backup guitar but ended up buying a fancy Martin professional level guitar. It’s amazing so far.

To follow up, after playing the Martin guitar for a while then going back to the Taylor that had a fresh setup, I would say the biggest difference is the Martin is more bass heavy when strumming and has a slightly louder projection of sound acoustics compared to the Taylor. Both are great and I wouldn’t want to get rid of either one.
