Designed by Chris Martin IV, this model has a lot of deluxe specs like a solid Adirondack spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides. A rare sunburst finish tops it off, with a comfy V-profile neck. For a concert sized guitar, these ones sound great.
From Martin Guitar’s Website: "The CEO-7 blends vintage inspiration with modern craftsmanship in a compact, slope-shoulder 00 design that sounds as good as it looks. Designed by Chris Martin IV, this model features a solid Adirondack spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides for a warm, punchy tone with excellent clarity and projection. The 24.9" scale length and Modified V neck with a 1 3/4" nut width offer a comfortable, classic feel, while scalloped X-bracing brings out the best in every note. Finished in a striking Autumn Sunset Burst with antique white binding, it’s full of throwback charm—from the abalone Old Style 18 inlays to the aged nickel tuners. Whether you’re playing at home or on stage (thanks to optional electronics), the CEO-7 is a standout. And yes, it comes with a hardshell case—because a guitar this good deserves to travel in style."
